Problem Description
T. E. Lawrence was a controversial figure during World War I. He was a British officer who served in the Arabian theater and led a group of Arab nationals in guerilla strikes against the Ottoman Empire. His primary targets were the railroads. A highly fictionalized version of his exploits was presented in the blockbuster movie, "Lawrence of Arabia".
You are to write a program to help Lawrence figure out how to best use his limited resources. You have some information from British Intelligence. First, the rail line is completely linear---there are no branches, no spurs. Next, British Intelligence has assigned a Strategic Importance to each depot---an integer from 1 to 100. A depot is of no use on its own, it only has value if it is connected to other depots. The Strategic Value of the entire railroad is calculated by adding up the products of the Strategic Values for every pair of depots that are connected, directly or indirectly, by the rail line. Consider this railroad:
Its Strategic Value is 4*5 + 4*1 + 4*2 + 5*1 + 5*2 + 1*2 = 49.
Now, suppose that Lawrence only has enough resources for one attack. He cannot attack the depots themselves---they are too well defended. He must attack the rail line between depots, in the middle of the desert. Consider what would happen if Lawrence attacked this rail line right in the middle:
The Strategic Value of the remaining railroad is 4*5 + 1*2 = 22. But, suppose Lawrence attacks between the 4 and 5 depots:
The Strategic Value of the remaining railroad is 5*1 + 5*2 + 1*2 = 17. This is Lawrence's best option.
Given a description of a railroad and the number of attacks that Lawrence can perform, figure out the smallest Strategic Value that he can achieve for that railroad.

Input
There will be several data sets. Each data set will begin with a line with two integers, n and m. n is the number of depots on the railroad (1≤n≤1000), and m is the number of attacks Lawrence has resources for (0≤m<n). On the next line will be n integers, each from 1 to 100, indicating the Strategic Value of each depot in order. End of input will be marked by a line with n=0 and m=0, which should not be processed.
Output
For each data set, output a single integer, indicating the smallest Strategic Value for the railroad that Lawrence can achieve with his attacks. Output each integer in its own line.

四边形优化：
当函数w(i,j)满足 w(a,c)+w(b,d) <= w(b,c)+w(a,d) 且a<=b< c <=d 时，我们称w(i,j)满足四边形不等式。。
当函数w(i, j)满足w(i', j) <= w(i, j'); i <= i' < j <= j' 时，称w关于关于区间包含关系单
调。
s(i, j)=k是指m(i, j)这个状态的最优决策
以上定理的证明自己去查些资料
今天看得lrj的书中介绍的 四边形优化 做个笔记，加强理解
最有代价用d[i,j]表示
d[i,j]=min{d[i,k-1]+d[k+1,j]}+w[i,j]
其中w[i,j]=sum[i,j]
四边形不等式
w[a,c]+w[b,d]<=w[b,c]+w[a,d](a<b<c<d) 就称其满足凸四边形不等式
决策单调性
w[i,j]<=w[i',j'] ([i,j]属于[i',j']) 既 i'<=i<j<=j'
于是有以下三个定理
定理一： 如果w同时满足四边形不等式 和 决策单调性 ,则d也满足四边形不等式
定理二：当定理一的条件满足时，让d[i,j]取最小值的k为K[i,j]，则K[i,j-1]<=K[i,j]<=K[i+1,j]
定理三：w为凸当且仅当w[i,j]+w[i+1,j+1]<=w[i+1,j]+w[i,j+1]
由定理三知 判断w是否为凸即判断 w[i,j+1]-w[i,j]的值随着i的增加是否递减
于是求K值的时候K[i,j]只和K[i+1,j] 和 K[i,j-1]有关，所以 可以以i-j递增为顺序递推各个状态值最终求得结果 将O(n^3)转为O(n^2)
题目描述 ：
在一条具有n个仓库的道路上，放置m个炸弹，被炸断之后的这段铁路[i,j]，它的值为a[i]*(a[i+1],,,,a[j])+a[i+1]*a(a[i+2],,,+a[j])+,,,,+a[j-1]*a[j];,求被炸弹分割之后的铁路和的最小值
：
The Strategic Value of the remaining railroad is 5*1 + 5*2 + 1*2 = 17.
The Strategic Value of the remaining railroad is 5*1 + 5*2 + 1*2 = 17.
d[i][k]表示在前i个仓库里放k个炸弹，cost[i][j]表示[i,j]区间内的Strategic Value
d[i][k]=min(d[j][k-1]+cost[j+1][i]);
cost[i][j]=cost[i][j-1]+sum*a[j],sum==(a[i]+a[i+1]+a[i+2]+,,,,+a[j-1])
时间复杂度为1000*1000*1000=10^9，肯定会超时。
可以采用斜率优化或者四边形优化。
（设w[i][j]表示i到j的value，f[i][j]表示为前j个仓库放i个炸弹,那么可以得到f[i][j]=min{f[i-1][k-1]+w[k][j]}(i<k<=j)，如果直接dp的话是O(M*N^2)的复杂度。
然而这个状态转移方程和POJ_1160的状态转移方程是一样的，因而只要我们能够证明w为凸的话，就可以证明f[i][j]为凸，那么就可以用四边形不等式进行优化了。
要证w为凸，只要证w[i][j]+w[i+1][j+1]<=w[i][j+1]+w[i+1][j]即可，也就是证明w[i+1][j]-w[i][j]是关于j单调递减的。又因为w[i][j]=w[i+1][j]+(A[j]-A[i])*a[i]，其中a[i]表示i点权，A[i]表示1,2,…,i的点权和，代入到w[i+1][j]-w[i][j]中就可以得到w[i+1][j]-w[i][j]=(A[i]-A[j])*a[i]，显然是随j的增加而递减的。这样我们就证明出了w为凸，进而可以证明f[i][j]的求解可以用四边形不等式优化。）
目前只会四边形优化，还有此题wa了很久的原因是无穷大的设立，inf=1<<20,不够大，inf=1e30才够大，
提醒我们需要注意细节。
设立初始值，d[i][0]=cost[1][i],用s[i][j]表示d[i][j]的决策。s[i][0]=0,s[n+1][i]=n;
1：s[i][k-1]<=s[i][k]<=s[i+1][k];
2：d[i][k]=min(d[j][k-1]+cost[j+1][i]);
观察表达式,k从小到大枚举（2式），i从大到小枚举(1式中s[i][k]<=s[i+1][k])。k在外层循环，i在内层循环(1式中s[i][k]<=s[i+1][k])
