Check if chords of a Circle are symmetric after some rotation

Last Updated : 15 Feb, 2023

Given two Integers N and M, N indicating equidistant points on circumference of a circle and M indicating number of chords formed with those points. Also given is a vector of pairs C containing position of chords. The task is to rotate the circle by any degree, say X, where 0 < X < 360, and check if the chords of are still symmetric to the original circle.

Example:

Input: N = 12, M = 6, C = {{1, 3}, {3, 7}, {5, 7}, {7, 11}, {9, 11}, {11, 3}};
Output: YES

Original
After Rotation

Input: N = 10, M = 3, C = {{1, 2}, {3, 2}, {7, 2}}
Output: NO

No rotational symmetry possible

Naive Approach: Rotate for every distance K in the range[1, N] and check for each point [a, b] if the rotated point [a + K, b + K] exits.
If there exists any k then print YES else print NO
Time Complexity: O(N*M)

Efficient Approach: It is enough to check for the divisors of N.
Let us suppose if we rotate the image by K units then the whole image will be divided into N/K blocks. Then if K is not a divisor of N, there will be an asymmetric block of length less than K and the image will never be symmetric to the original figure.
So calculate all the divisors of N and check for each chord the rotated chord exists or not.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ Program to for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Utility function to calculate
// divisors of a number in O(sqrt(N))
vector<int> calculateDivisors(int N)
{
    vector<int> div;
    for (int i = 1; i * i <= N; i++) {
        if (N % i == 0) {
            div.push_back(i);
            if (N / i != i && i != 1) {
                div.push_back(N / i);
            }
        }
    }
    return div;
}
int checkRotationallySymmetric(
    vector<pair<int, int> > A,
    int N, int M)
{
    // Maintain a set to check quickly
    // the presence of a chord
    set<pair<int, int> > st;
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
        --A[i].first, --A[i].second;
        if (A[i].first > A[i].second) {
            swap(A[i].first, A[i].second);
        }
        st.insert(A[i]);
    }
 
    // Calculate the divisors of N.
    vector<int> div = calculateDivisors(N);
 
    // Iterate through the divisors
    for (auto x : div) {
        bool exist = 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
            int dx = (A[i].first + x) % N;
            int dy = (A[i].second + x) % N;
            if (dx > dy) {
                swap(dx, dy);
            }
            if (st.find({ dx, dy }) != st.end()) {
 
                // There exists a valid
                // chord after rotation
            }
            else {
 
                // There is no valid chord after rotation
                exist = false;
                break;
            }
        }
 
        // if there exist another chord after
        // rotation for every other chord print
        // YES and exit the function
        if (exist) {
            cout << "YES";
            return 0;
        }
    }
    cout << "NO";
    return 0;
}
