1191. K-Concatenation Maximum Sum

Description

Given an integer array arr and an integer k, modify the array by repeating it k times.

For example, if arr = [1, 2] and k = 3 then the modified array will be [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2].

Return the maximum sub-array sum in the modified array. Note that the length of the sub-array can be 0 and its sum in that case is 0.

As the answer can be very large, return the answer modulo 109 + 7.

 

Example 1:

Input: arr = [1,2], k = 3
Output: 9

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,-2,1], k = 5
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: arr = [-1,-2], k = 7
Output: 0

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 105
  • 1 <= k <= 105
  • -104 <= arr[i] <= 104

Solutions

Solution 1: Prefix Sum + Case Discussion

We denote the sum of all elements in the array $arr$ as $s$, the maximum prefix sum as $mxPre$, the minimum prefix sum as $miPre$, and the maximum subarray sum as $mxSub$.

We traverse the array $arr$. For each element $x$, we update $s = s + x$, $mxPre = \max(mxPre, s)$, $miPre = \min(miPre, s)$, $mxSub = \max(mxSub, s - miPre)$.

Next, we consider the value of $k$:

  • When $k = 1$, the answer is $mxSub$.
  • When $k \ge 2$, if the maximum subarray spans two $arr$, then the answer is $mxPre + mxSuf$, where $mxSuf = s - miPre$.
  • When $k \ge 2$ and $s > 0$, if the maximum subarray spans three $arr$, then the answer is $(k - 2) \times s + mxPre + mxSuf$.

Finally, we return the result of the answer modulo $10^9 + 7$.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array $arr$.
