2020牛客暑期多校训练营（第三场）E

题目链接：Two Matchings

题意：给你一个序列a，你要找到两种完全不同的整个序列的两两匹配，使得所有两两匹配差的绝对值的和最小，输出这个和

思路：对序列a排序后，显然最小的匹配相邻两两匹配，即$(a_2-a_1)+(a_4-a_3)+dots+(a_n - a_{n-1})$，关键在如何求第二小的匹配

对于第二小的匹配，我们可以讲整个序列分为多个4个数的子序列和多个6个数的子序列

对于4个数的子序列，除了相邻两两匹配外，第二小的匹配为$a_3+a_4-a_2-a_1$

对于6个数的子序列，除了相邻两两匹配外，第二小的匹配为$a_6+a_5+a_3-a_4-a_1-a_2$

对于偶数位进行dp即可，即dp[i]=min(dp[i - 4] + a[i] + a[i - 1] - a[i - 2] - a[i - 3],dp[i - 6] + a[i] + a[i - 1] + a[i - 3] - a[i - 5] - a[i - 4] - a[i - 2])
