1043. Partition Array for Maximum Sum (Medium)

Given an integer array A, you partition the array into (contiguous) subarrays of length at most K.  After partitioning, each subarray has their values changed to become the maximum value of that subarray.

Return the largest sum of the given array after partitioning.

 

Example 1:

Input: A = [1,15,7,9,2,5,10], K = 3
Output: 84
Explanation: A becomes [15,15,15,9,10,10,10]

 

Note:

1. 1 <= K <= A.length <= 500
2. 0 <= A[i] <= 10^6

Solution 1. DP

Let dp[i] be the subproblem in A[0..i].

dp[i] = max( dp[j-1] + max(A[j], ..., A[i]) * (i - j + 1) | i - j + 1 <= K && j >= 0 )
dp[-1] = 0

class Solution {

    int maxSumAfterPartitioning(vector<int>& A, int K) {
        int N = A.size();

        for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
            int maxVal = 0;
            for (int j = i, k = 0; j >= 0 && k < K; --j, ++k) {
                maxVal = max(maxVal, A[j]);
                dp[i] = max(dp[i], (j == 0 ? 0 : dp[j - 1]) + maxVal * (i - j + 1));
            }
        }
        return dp[N - 1];
    }
};

Solution 2. DP

// OJ: https://leetcode.com/problems/partition-array-for-maximum-sum/

// Time: O(NK)
// Space: O(K)
class Solution {
public:
    int maxSumAfterPartitioning(vector<int>& A, int K) {
        int N = A.size();
        ++K;
        vector<int> dp(K);
        for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
            int maxVal = 0;
            dp[i % K] = 0;
            for (int j = i, k = 0; j >= 0 && k < K - 1; --j, ++k) {
                maxVal = max(maxVal, A[j]);
                dp[i % K] = max(dp[i % K], (j == 0 ? 0 : dp[(j - 1) % K]) + maxVal * (i - j + 1));
            }
        }
        return dp[(N - 1) % K];
    }
};

Java

class Solution {
    public int maxSumAfterPartitioning(int[] A, int K) {
        if (A == null || A.length == 0)
            return 0;
        int length = A.length;
        int[] dp = new int[length + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= length; i++) {
            int max = 0;
            int leftBound = Math.max(i - K, 0);
            for (int j = i - 1; j >= leftBound; j--) {
                max = Math.max(max, A[j]);
                dp[i] = Math.max(dp[i], dp[j] + max * (i - j));
            }
        }
        return dp[length];
    }
