Ways of filling matrix such that product of all rows and all columns are equal to unity

Last Updated : 25 Jul, 2022

We are given three values n , m and k where n is number of rows in matrix, m is number of columns in the matrix and k is the number that can have only two values -1 and 1. Our aim is to find the number of ways of filling the matrix of n \times m such that the product of all the elements in each row and each column is equal to k . Since the number of ways can be large we will output ans \mod{1000000007}

Examples:

Input : n = 2, m = 4, k = -1
Output : 8
Following configurations satisfy the conditions:-

Input  : n = 2, m = 1, k = -1
Output : The number of filling the matrix
         are 0

From the above conditions, it is clear that the only elements that can be entered in the matrix are 1 and -1. Now we can easily deduce some of the corner cases

If k = -1, then the sum of number of rows and columns cannot be odd because -1 will be present odd
number of times in each row and column therefore if the sum is odd then answer is 0 .
If n = 1 or m = 1 then there is only one way of filling the matrix therefore answer is 1.
If none of the above cases are applicable then we fill the first n-1 rows and the first m-1 columns with 1 and -1. Then the remaining numbers can be uniquely identified since the product of each row an each column is already known therefore the answer is 2 ^ {(n-1) \times (m-1)} .

Implementation:

C++

// CPP program to find number of ways to fill
// a matrix under given constraints
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

#define mod 100000007

/* Returns a raised power t under modulo mod */
long long modPower(long long a, long long t)
{
    long long now = a, ret = 1;

    // Counting number of ways of filling the matrix
    while (t) {
        if (t & 1)
            ret = now * (ret % mod);
        now = now * (now % mod);
        t >>= 1;
    }
    return ret;
}

// Function calculating the answer
long countWays(int n, int m, int k)
{
    // if sum of numbers of rows and columns is odd
    // i.e (n + m) % 2 == 1 and k = -1 then there
    // are 0 ways of filiing the matrix.
    if (k == -1 && (n + m) % 2 == 1)
        return 0;

    // If there is one row or one column then there
    // is only one way of filling the matrix
    if (n == 1 || m == 1)
        return 1;

    // If the above cases are not followed then we
    // find ways to fill the n - 1 rows and m - 1
    // columns which is 2 ^ ((m-1)*(n-1)).
    return (modPower(modPower((long long)2, n - 1),
                                    m - 1) % mod);
}

// Driver function for the program
int main()
{
    int n = 2, m = 7, k = 1;
    cout << countWays(n, m, k);
    return 0;
