Palíndromo por inserção frontal

Palíndromo por inserção frontal
Experimente no GfG Practice caracteres para adicionar na frente do Palíndromo

Dada uma string s consistindo apenas de letras minúsculas em inglês, encontre o mínimo número de caracteres que precisam ser adicionado para o frente de s para torná-lo um palíndromo.
Observação: Um palíndromo é uma string que lê a mesma coisa para frente e para trás.

Exemplos:  

Entrada :s = 'abc'
Saída : 2
Explicação : Podemos transformar a string acima em palíndromo como 'cbabc' adicionando 'b' e 'c' na frente.

Entrada :s = 'aacecaaaa'
Saída : 2
Explicação : Podemos transformar a string acima em um palíndromo como 'aaaacecaaaa' adicionando dois as na frente da string.

[Abordagem Naive] Verificando todos os prefixos - O(n^2) Tempo e O(1) Espaço

A ideia é baseada na observação de que precisamos encontrar o prefixo mais longo de uma determinada string que também é um palíndromo. Então, o mínimo de caracteres frontais a serem adicionados para formar um determinado palíndromo de string serão os caracteres restantes.

[Abordagem esperada 1] Usando matriz lps do algoritmo KMP - O(n) Tempo e O(n) Espaço

A observação principal é que o prefixo palindrômico mais longo de uma string se torna o sufixo palindrômico mais longo de seu reverso.
Dada uma string s = 'aacecaaaa', seu reverso revS = 'aaaacecaa'. O prefixo palindrômico mais longo de s é 'aacecaa'.

Para encontrar isso de forma eficiente, usamos o array LPS do Algoritmo KMP . Concatenamos a string original com um caractere especial e seu reverso: s + '$' + revS.
A matriz LPS para esta string combinada ajuda a identificar o prefixo mais longo de s que corresponde a um sufixo de revS que também representa o prefixo palindrômico de s.

O último valor do array LPS nos diz quantos caracteres já formam um palíndromo no início. Assim, o número mínimo de caracteres a serem adicionados para tornar s um palíndromo é s.length() - lps.back().

[Abordagem Esperada 2] Usando o Algoritmo de Manacher

A ideia é usar Algoritmo de Manacher para encontrar com eficiência todas as substrings palindrômicas em tempo linear.
Transformamos a string inserindo caracteres especiais (#) para lidar uniformemente com palíndromos de comprimento par e ímpar.
Após o pré-processamento, verificamos a partir do final da string original e usamos o array radius do palíndromo para verificar se o prefixo s[0...i] é um palíndromo. O primeiro índice i nos fornece o prefixo palindrômico mais longo e retornamos n - (i + 1) como os caracteres mínimos a serem adicionados.

Complexidade de tempo: O algoritmo de O(n) manacher é executado em tempo linear expandindo palíndromos em cada centro sem revisitar caracteres e o loop de verificação de prefixo executa O(1) operações por caractere em n caracteres.
Espaço Auxiliar: O(n) usado para a string modificada e a matriz de comprimento do palíndromo p[] que crescem linearmente com o tamanho da entrada.
