Euler problems/1 to 10

Problem 1

Add all the natural numbers below 1000 that are multiples of 3 or 5.

Two solutions using sum:

import Data.List (union)
problem_1' = sum (union [3,6..999] [5,10..999])

problem_1  = sum [x | x <- [1..999], x `mod` 3 == 0 || x `mod` 5 == 0]

Another solution which uses algebraic relationships:

problem_1 = sumStep 3 999 + sumStep 5 999 - sumStep 15 999
  where
    sumStep s n = s * sumOnetoN (n `div` s)
    sumOnetoN n = n * (n+1) `div` 2

Problem 2

Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the Fibonacci sequence which do not exceed one million.

Solution:

problem_2 = sum [ x | x <- takeWhile (<= 1000000) fibs, even x]
  where
    fibs = 1 : 1 : zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs)

The following two solutions use the fact that the even-valued terms in the Fibonacci sequence themselves form a Fibonacci-like sequence that satisfies evenFib 0 = 0, evenFib 1 = 2, evenFib (n+2) = evenFib n + 4 * evenFib (n+1).

problem_2 = sumEvenFibs $ numEvenFibsLessThan 1000000
  where
    sumEvenFibs n = (evenFib n + evenFib (n+1) - 2) `div` 4
    evenFib n = round $ (2 + sqrt 5) ** (fromIntegral n) / sqrt 5
    numEvenFibsLessThan n =
              floor $ (log (fromIntegral n - 0.5) + 0.5*log 5) / log (2 + sqrt 5)

The first two solutions work because 10^6 is small. The following solution also works for much larger numbers (up to at least 10^1000000 on my computer):

problem_2 = sumEvenFibsLessThan 1000000

sumEvenFibsLessThan n = (a + b - 1) `div` 2
  where
    n2 = n `div` 2
    (a, b) = foldr f (0,1)
             . takeWhile ((<= n2) . fst)
             . iterate times2E $ (1, 4)
    f x y | fst z <= n2 = z
          | otherwise   = y
      where z = x `addE` y
addE (a, b) (c, d) = (a*d + b*c - 4*ac, ac + b*d)
  where ac=a*c

times2E (a, b) = addE (a, b) (a, b)

Another elegant, quick solution, based on some background mathematics as in comments:

-- Every third term is even, and every third term beautifully follows:
-- fib n = 4*fib n-3 + fib n-6
evenFibs = 2 : 8 : zipWith (+) (map (4*) (tail evenFibs)) evenFibs

-- So, evenFibs are: e(n) = 4*e(n-1) + e(n-2)
-- [there4]:4e(n)   = e(n+1) - e(n-1)
--          4e(n-1) = e(n)   - e(n-2)
--          4e(n-2) = e(n-1) - e(n-3)
--          ...
--          4e(3)   = e(4)   - e(2)
--          4e(2)   = e(3)   - e(1)
--          4e(1)   = e(2)   - e(0)
--         -------------------------------
-- Total: 4([sum] e(k) - e(0)) = e(n+1) + e(n) - e(1) - e(0)
-- => [sum] e(k) = (e(n+1) + e(n) - e(1) + 3e(0))/4 = 1089154 for
-- first 10 terms

sumEvenFibsBelow :: Int -> Int
sumEvenFibsBelow n = ((last $ take (x+1) evenFibs) +
                      (last $ take x evenFibs) -
                      8 + 6) `div` 4
  where x = length (takeWhile (<= n) evenFibs)

Problem 3

Find the largest prime factor of 600851475143.

Solution:

primes = 2 : filter (null . tail . primeFactors) [3,5..]

primeFactors n = factor n primes
  where
    factor n (p:ps) 
        | p*p > n        = [n]
        | n `mod` p == 0 = p : factor (n `div` p) (p:ps)
        | otherwise      =     factor n ps

Problem 4

Another solution: 16*9*5*7*11*13*17*19. Product of maximal powers of primes in the range.

Problem 6

Solution:

--primes in problem_3

Problem 9

                        let a = m^2 - n^2, 
                        let b = 2*m*n, 
                        let c = m^2 + n^2,
                        a+b+c==l]
