# 446. Arithmetic Slices II - Subsequence (Hard)

A sequence of numbers is called arithmetic if it consists of at least three elements and if the difference between any two consecutive elements is the same.

For example, these are arithmetic sequences:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9
7, 7, 7, 7
3, -1, -5, -9

The following sequence is not arithmetic.

1, 1, 2, 5, 7

A zero-indexed array A consisting of N numbers is given. A subsequence slice of that array is any sequence of integers (P0, P1, ..., Pk) such that 0 ≤ P0 < P1 < ... < Pk < N.

A subsequence slice (P0, P1, ..., Pk) of array A is called arithmetic if the sequence A[P0], A[P1], ..., A[Pk-1], A[Pk] is arithmetic. In particular, this means that k ≥ 2.

The function should return the number of arithmetic subsequence slices in the array A.

The input contains N integers. Every integer is in the range of -231 and 231-1 and 0 ≤ N ≤ 1000. The output is guaranteed to be less than 231-1.

Example:

Input: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

Output: 7

Explanation:
All arithmetic subsequence slices are:
[2,4,6]
[4,6,8]
[6,8,10]
[2,4,6,8]
[4,6,8,10]
[2,4,6,8,10]
[2,6,10]

## Solution 1. DP

Let dp[i][d] be the number of weak arithmetic subsequences ending at A[i] and with common difference d. Here weak means the subsequence can be of size 2.

For each A[i], we loop through all j < i:

1. A[j], A[i] forms a new sequence.
2. We can append A[i] to all the weak arithmetic subsequences ending at A[j] with common difference d.
dp[i][d] = sum(dp[j][d] + 1 | 0 <= j < i && A[i] - A[j] == d)


While summing the answer, we can ignore the 1s corresponding to weak arithmetic subsequences.

return ans;
}
};


## Solution 2. DP

One optimization based on Solution 1 is that we can skip updating dp[i][d] if there won’t be a next element appendable to this subsequence. This would save lots of runtime and space consumption.

class Solution {
typedef long long LL;
public:
int numberOfArithmeticSlices(vector<int>& A) {
if (A.empty()) return 0;
int ans = 0, N = A.size();
vector<unordered_map<LL, int>> dp(N);
unordered_set<int> s(A.begin(), A.end());
for (int i = 1; i < N; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < i; ++j) {
LL d = (LL)A[i] - A[j];
int count = dp[j].count(d) ? dp[j][d] : 0;
ans += count;
if (s.count(A[i] + d)) dp[i][d] += 1 + count;
}
}
return ans;
}

long num = 2l * A[j] - A[i];

for (int k : pos[num]) {
if (k >= j) break;
dp[i][j] += dp[j][k] + 1;
}
ans += dp[i][j];
}
}
return ans;
