Given a sorted array A of n integers. The task is to find the sum of the minimum of all possible subsequences of A.
Note: Considering there will be no overflow of numbers.
Examples:
Input: A = [1, 2, 4, 5]
Output: 29
Subsequences are [1], [2], [4], [5], [1, 2], [1, 4], [1, 5], [2, 4], [2, 5], [4, 5] [1, 2, 4], [1, 2, 5], [1, 4, 5], [2, 4, 5], [1, 2, 4, 5]
Minimums are 1, 2, 4, 5, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1.
Sum is 29
Input: A = [1, 2, 3]
Output: 11
Approach: The Naive approach is to generate all possible subsequences, find their minimum and add them to the result.
Efficient Approach: It is given that the array is sorted, so observe that the minimum element occurs 2n-1 times, the second minimum occurs 2n-2 times, and so on... Let's take an example:
arr[] = {1, 2, 3}
Subsequences are {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}
Minimum of each subsequence: {1}, {2}, {3}, {1}, {1}, {2}, {1}.
where
1 occurs 4 times i.e. 2 n-1 where n = 3.
2 occurs 2 times i.e. 2n-2 where n = 3.
3 occurs 1 times i.e. 2n-3 where n = 3.
So, traverse the array and add current element i.e. arr[i]* pow(2, n-1-i) to the sum.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to find the sum
// of minimum of all subsequence
int findMinSum(int arr[], int n)
{
int occ = n - 1, sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
sum += arr[i] * pow(2, occ);
occ--;
}
return sum;
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 4, 5 };
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
cout << findMinSum(arr, n);
return 0;
}
// Java implementation of the above approach
class GfG
{
// Function to find the sum
// of minimum of all subsequence
static int findMinSum(int arr[], int n)
{
int occ = n - 1, sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
sum += arr[i] * (int)Math.pow(2, occ);
occ--;
}
return sum;
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 4, 5 };
int n = arr.length;
System.out.println(findMinSum(arr, n));
}
}

def findMinSum(arr, n):
occ = n - 1
Sum = 0
for i in range(n):
Sum += arr[i] * pow(2, occ)
occ -= 1
return Sum
# Driver code
arr = [1, 2, 4, 5]
n = len(arr)
print(findMinSum(arr, n))

using System;
class GFG
{
// Function to find the sum
// of minimum of all subsequence
static int findMinSum(int []arr, int n)
{
int occ = n - 1, sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
sum += arr[i] *(int) Math.Pow(2, occ);
occ--;
}
return sum;
}
// Driver code
public static void Main(String []args)
{
int []arr = { 1, 2, 4, 5 };
int n = arr.Length;
Console.WriteLine( findMinSum(arr, n));
}

$occ = $occ1 - 1;
$Sum = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++)
{
$Sum += $arr[$i] * pow(2, $occ);
$occ -= 1;
}
return $Sum;
}
// Driver code
$arr = array(1, 2, 4, 5);
$n = count($arr);
echo findMinSum($arr, $n);

function findMinSum(arr, n)

Output:
29
Time Complexity: O(nlogn)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Note: To find the Sum of maximum element of all subsequences in a sorted array, just traverse the array in reverse order and apply the same formula for Sum.
