1856. Maximum Subarray Min-Product

Description

The min-product of an array is equal to the minimum value in the array multiplied by the array's sum.

  • For example, the array [3,2,5] (minimum value is 2) has a min-product of 2 * (3+2+5) = 2 * 10 = 20.

Given an array of integers nums, return the maximum min-product of any non-empty subarray of nums. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

Note that the min-product should be maximized before performing the modulo operation. Testcases are generated such that the maximum min-product without modulo will fit in a 64-bit signed integer.

A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,2]
Output: 14
Explanation: The maximum min-product is achieved with the subarray [2,3,2] (minimum value is 2).
2 * (2+3+2) = 2 * 7 = 14.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,3,3,1,2]
Output: 18
Explanation: The maximum min-product is achieved with the subarray [3,3] (minimum value is 3).
3 * (3+3) = 3 * 6 = 18.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,1,5,6,4,2]
Output: 60
Explanation: The maximum min-product is achieved with the subarray [5,6,4] (minimum value is 4).
4 * (5+6+4) = 4 * 15 = 60.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 107

Solutions

Solution 1: Monotonic Stack + Prefix Sum

We can enumerate each element $nums[i]$ as the minimum value of the subarray, and find the left and right boundaries $left[i]$ and $right[i]$ of the subarray. Where $left[i]$ represents the first position strictly less than $nums[i]$ on the left side of $i$, and $right[i]$ represents the first position less than or equal to $nums[i]$ on the right side of $i$.

To conveniently calculate the sum of the subarray, we can preprocess the prefix sum array $s$, where $s[i]$ represents the sum of the first $i$ elements of $nums$.

Then the minimum product with $nums[i]$ as the minimum value of the subarray is $nums[i] \times (s[right[i]] - s[left[i] + 1])$. We can enumerate each element $nums[i]$, find the minimum product with $nums[i]$ as the minimum value of the subarray, and then take the maximum value.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Where $n$ is the length of the array $nums$.
