Problem

You are given two positive integers xCorner and yCorner, and a 2D array circles, where circles[i] = [xᵢ, yᵢ, rᵢ] denotes a circle with center at (xᵢ, yᵢ) and radius rᵢ.

There is a rectangle in the coordinate plane with its bottom left corner at the origin and top right corner at the coordinate (xCorner, yCorner). You need to check whether there is a path from the bottom left corner to the top right corner such that the entire path lies inside the rectangle, does not touch or lie inside any circle, and touches the rectangle only at the two corners.

Return true if such a path exists, and false otherwise.

https://leetcode.cn/problems/check-if-the-rectangle-corner-is-reachable/

Example 1:

Input: xCorner = 3, yCorner = 4, circles = [[2,1,1]]
Output: true
Explanation:

case1

The curve shows a possible path between (0, 0) and (3, 4).

Example 2:

Input: xCorner = 3, yCorner = 3, circles = [[1,1,2]]
Output: false
Explanation:

case2

No path exists from (0, 0) to (3, 3).

Example 3:

Input: xCorner = 3, yCorner = 3, circles = [[2,1,1],[1,2,1]]
Output: false
Explanation:

case3

No path exists from (0, 0) to (3, 3).

Example 4:

Input: xCorner = 4, yCorner = 4, circles = [[5,5,1]]
Output: true
Explanation:

case4

Constraints:

  • 3 <= xCorner, yCorner <= 10⁹
  • 1 <= circles.length <= 1000
  • circles[i].length == 3
  • 1 <= xᵢ, yᵢ, rᵢ <= 10⁹

Thoughts

直观想法

先看单个圆,看圆和矩形的哪些边相交/相切,如果相交/相切的边的集合如下,则没有通路:

  • 上 & 下
  • 左 & 右
  • 左 & 下
  • 右 & 上

判断圆是否和某个边相交/相切:

圆与线段相交/相切 iff

  • 圆心到任一端点距离 ≤ 半径
  • 圆心到线的距离 ≤ 半径 && 两个端点在垂线两边(利用水平垂直特点可以简化计算)

再看多个圆,把相交/相切的圆归为一堆,他们相交/相切的边取并集,最终并集结果如果符合上边四种情况,则没
有通路。

判断两个圆是否相交/相切:

两个圆相交/相切 iff 圆心距离 ≤ 圆心半径和

需要注意,如果一个圆完全在矩形之外,应该直接丢弃。
否则可能会出现一个圆压住上边界,一个圆压住右边界,然后矩形外有一堆圆把前两个圆连接起来。但并不影响通路。
如:3, 3, [[1,2,1], [1,4,1], [2,5,1], [4,5,1], [5,4,1], [5,2,1], [4,2,1]]

判断圆在矩形外:

圆在矩形外 iff 圆与四边都不相交/相切 && 圆不在矩形内

所有圆/连成一片的圆都判定完,没有出现不通的情况,最后结果就是有通路。

记录已经处理过的圆组成的相连的团簇,对于每个圆,跟所有已有的团簇的圆判定是否相连(注意可能会同时跟多
个团簇相连,导致团簇合并)。

复杂度 O(n²),n 是 圆的个数。

降低复杂度关键:如何快速计算出所有的团簇,裁剪掉不必要的比较,比如用四叉树。

问题:两个圆心在外边的圆相交,但各自跟上和右边相交,但并不影响通路,如 3, 3, [[2,10,7], [10,2,7]]

取相交/相切圆的圆心连线中的等比点(该点到两个圆心的距离与两个半径同比),如果该点在矩形外就不连成团簇。

设两个圆分别是 (x1, y1, r1)(x2, y2, r2),连线上等比点的位置是 (x, y),则

x = x1 + (x2 - x1) * r1 / (r1 + r2),y 类似(要避免浮点运算)。

判定 (x, y) 是否在矩形内。

最难点

取相交/相切圆的圆心连线中的等比点(该点到两个圆心的距离与两个半径同比),如果该点在矩形外就不连成团簇。

这是个平面几何数学知识点。
