Preliminaries Problem: "maximum repeated substring problem"

Write a program which maximizes the total length of repeated substrings for given string.
for 111001110011100111001001, answer is 11100,11100,11100,11100.
for 001011000000101100001011001011, answer is 0010110000,0010110000.

Finals Problem: "Sport scheduling"

Write a program which decides the home-away allocation(ref. fig3) for all-teams' league tournament, minimizing the total cost of whole teams transportations given a cost matrix(ref. fig2).

  fig3. home-away allocation

According to the above allocation, the total cost of team A is 5(day2day3)+8(day3day4)+10(day4day5)+15(day5day6)+15(day6home)=53.

Results:

total cost is 21840 with 33.9seconds
