Primary

Linked-List Pointer Rewiring

Free

Invariant: prev bounds the correctly processed chain and cur is the first unprocessed node; every original node belongs to exactly one side and remains reachable.

candidate confidence: 0.595 · metadata_only

Alternate 1

Opposite-Direction Two Pointers

Free

Invariant: Every uneliminated pair uses endpoints inside [l,r]; a moved endpoint is proven unable to pair with any remaining opposite endpoint to satisfy the goal.

candidate confidence: 0.452 · metadata_only

Alternate 2

Same-Direction / Read-Write Pointers

Free

Invariant: After processing a[0:read], a[0:write] is exactly its correct stable filtered output, with write no farther than read+1.

How to use this page

Read the statement and constraints first, then validate recognition signals, invariant, and complexity. Candidate score is not correctness evidence.
