带有添加，删除和追加操作的表格N-copy字符串

由N个字母“ G”副本组成的字符串称为N复制字符串。即“ GGGG”是一个4副本字符串，因为它包含4个字母“ G”的副本。最初，我们有一个空字符串，可以对其执行以下三个操作：

1. 添加单个字母“ G”，成本为X。
2. 删除成本为X的单个字母“ G”。
3. 将到目前为止形成的字符串以Y的成本附加到其自身，即，我们具有字符串“ GG”，可以将其附加到其自身以制成“ GGGG”
   给定N，X和Y，可以找到使用上述操作生成N复制字符串的最低成本

例子：

Input : N = 4, X = 2, Y = 1 
Output : 4 
Explanation: 
1) Initially, the string it empty, we perform one Add operation to form string ‘G’. 
2) Next, we perform a operation of type 3, and form the string ‘GG’. 
3) Again we perform the operation 3 and form ‘GGGG’, which is the required N-copy string. 
Cost = X + Y + Y = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4
Input : N = 4, X = 1, Y = 3 
Output : 4 
We can perform 4 consecutive Add operations to form ‘GGGG’. 
Cost = X + X + X + X = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 

可以使用动态编程方法解决该问题。
如果我们仔细分析这些操作，很容易看出，仅当存在多余的副本时才执行删除操作，只有在此删除操作之前涉及到类型3的操作时，才会出现这种情况，因为如果前面有一个类型为1的操作，那么它是没有意义的，因为连续的add和remove操作只会增加成本，而不会在我们的字符串引入任何新的副本。
因此，我们可以说我们有以下操作，
1)添加单个字符“ G”，成本为X
2)将字符串附加到其自身，然后删除单个字符“ G”，成本为Y + X
3)将字符串附加到其自身，成本为Y
注意：现在我们将参考这些修改后的操作
现在，可以使用O(n)DP方法解决它。

Let dp[i] represent the minimum cost to form a i-copy string 
then the state transitions can be:
1) If i is odd, 
Case 1: Add a character to the (i-1)-copy string, 
Case 2: Perform an operation of type 2 on the ((i+1)/2)-copy string
i.e dp[i] = min(dp[i – 1] + X, dp[(i + 1) / 2)] + Y + X) 
2) If i is even 
Case 1: Add a character to the (i-1)-copy string, 
Case 2: Perform an operation of type 3 on the (i/2)-copy string
i.e dp[i] = min(dp[i – 1] + X, dp[i / 2] + Y)
