Count the number of ordered sets not containing consecutive numbers

Given a positive integer N. Count the total number of ordered sets of any size such that consecutive numbers are not present in the set and all numbers are <= N. 

Ordered Set: Arrays in which all numbers are distinct, and order of elements is taken into consideration, For e.g. {1, 2, 3} is different from {1, 3, 2}. 

Examples: 

Input: N = 3 
Output:
Explanation: 
The ordered sets are: 
{1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 3}, {3, 1}

Input: N = 6 
Output: 50 

Naive Approach: 

  • We will use Recursion to solve this problem. If we obtain a count say C of the ordered set where elements are in ascending/descending order and the set size is S, then total count for this size will C * S!
  • We will do this for each ordered set of distinct sizes.
  • Iterate on all ordered set sizes and for each size find the count of ordered sets and multiply by factorial of size ( S! ). At each recursive step, we have two options – 
    1. Include the current element x and move to the next position with maximum element that can be included now as x – 2.
    2. Do not include the current element x and stay at the current position with maximum element that can be included now as x – 1.
  • So the recursive relation is :
countSets(x, pos) = countSets(x-2, pos-1) + countSets(x-1, pos)

Efficient Approach:  

  • In the recursive approach, we are solving subproblems multiple times, i.e. it follows the Overlapping Subproblems Property in Dynamic Programming. So we can use a memorization table or cache to make the solution efficient.
