101023: [AtCoder]ABC102 D - Equal Cut
Description
Score : $600$ points
Problem Statement
Snuke has an integer sequence $A$ of length $N$.
He will make three cuts in $A$ and divide it into four (non-empty) contiguous subsequences $B, C, D$ and $E$. The positions of the cuts can be freely chosen.
Let $P,Q,R,S$ be the sums of the elements in $B,C,D,E$, respectively. Snuke is happier when the absolute difference of the maximum and the minimum among $P,Q,R,S$ is smaller. Find the minimum possible absolute difference of the maximum and the minimum among $P,Q,R,S$.
Constraints
- $4 \leq N \leq 2 \times 10^5$
- $1 \leq A_i \leq 10^9$
- All values in input are integers.
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
$N$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $...$ $A_N$
Output
Find the minimum possible absolute difference of the maximum and the minimum among $P,Q,R,S$.

If we divide $A$ as $B,C,D,E=(3),(2),(4),(1,2)$, then $P=3,Q=2,R=4,S=1+2=3$. Here, the maximum and the minimum among $P,Q,R,S$ are $4$ and $2$, with the absolute difference of $2$. We cannot make the absolute difference of the maximum and the minimum less than $2$, so the answer is $2$.
