Longest increasing subsequence which forms a subarray in the sorted representation of the array

0 0 9 minutes read

Given an array arr[] of N integers, the task is to find the length of the longest increasing subsequence such that it forms a subarray when the original array is sorted.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = { 2, 6, 4, 8, 2, 9 }
Output: 3
Explanation:
Sorted array: {2, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9}
All possible non-decreasing sequences of the original array are
{2}, {6}, {4}, {8}, {2}, {9}, {2, 2}, {6, 8}, {8, 9}, {6, 8, 9}.
Out of all the above subsequences, {6, 8, 9} is the longest subsequence which is a subarray in the sorted representation of the array.

Input: arr[] = { 5, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 6, 5, 5 }
Output: 7
Explanation:
Sorted array: {5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6}
{5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5} is the longest subsequence which forms a subarray in the sorted form of the array.

Naive Approach: The idea is to generate all the possible subsequences of the array and then to check which one of them forms the longest subarray when the original array is sorted.

Time Complexity: O(2^N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)

Efficient Approach: The idea is to use Dynamic Programming approach to solve this problem. Below are the steps:

Store the frequency of each element in the given array in a Map.
Store the original array in a temporary array and sort the given array.
Initialise a 2D array of size N*3 where:
- dp[N][i] will store count of numbers X till position i.
- dp[x][1] will store count of number X + count of numbers (X – 1) till position i.
- dp[x][2] will store the actual length of sequence till position i.
Iterate over the original array and for each index i in the original array, include the element at the current position i only when all the (X – 1) elements are already included in the subsequence and update the values in dp[][] and update the maximum subsequence size after this state.
Print the maximum subsequence size after completing the above steps.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the length of the
// longest increasing sorted sequence
int LongestSequence(int a[], int n)
{
    // Stores the count of all elements
    map<int, int> m;
 
    int ar[n + 1], i, j;
 
    // Store the original array
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        ar[i] = a[i - 1];
    }
 
    // Sort the array
    sort(a, a + n);
 
    int c = 1;
    m[a[0]] = c;
 
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
        // If adjacent element
        // are not same
        if (a[i] != a[i - 1]) {
 
            // Increment count
            c++;
            m[a[i]] = c;
        }
    }
 
    // Store frequency of each element
    map<int, int> cnt;
 
    // Initialize a DP array
    int dp[n + 1][3] = { 0 };
    cnt[0] = 0;
 
    // Iterate over the array ar[]
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        ar[i] = m[ar[i]];
        cnt[ar[i]]++;
    }
 
    // Length of the longest
    // increasing sorted sequence
    int ans = 0, x;
 
    // Iterate over the array
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
        // Current element
        x = ar[i];
 
        // If the element has been
        // encountered the first time
        if (dp[x][0] == 0) {
 
            // If all the x - 1 previous
            // elements have already appeared
            if (dp[x - 1][0] == cnt[x - 1]) {
                dp[x][1] = dp[x - 1][1];
                dp[x][2] = dp[x - 1][1];
            }
 
            // Otherwise
            else {
                dp[x][1] = dp[x - 1][0];
            }
        }
 
        dp[x][2] = max(dp[x - 1][0],
                       dp[x][2]);
 
        if (dp[x - 1][0] == cnt[x - 1]) {
 
            // If all x-1 elements have
            // already been encountered
            dp[x][2] = max(dp[x][2],
                           dp[x - 1][1]);
        }
        for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
 
            // Increment the count of
            // the current element
            dp[x][j]++;
 
            // Update maximum
            // subsequence size
            ans = max(ans, dp[x][j]);
        }
    }
 
    // Return the maximum
    // subsequence size
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 2, 6, 4, 8, 2, 9 };
 
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
