2832. Maximal Range That Each Element Is Maximum in It πŸ”’

Description

You are given a 0-indexed array nums of distinct integers.

Let us define a 0-indexed array ans of the same length as nums in the following way:

  • ans[i] is the maximum length of a subarray nums[l..r], such that the maximum element in that subarray is equal to nums[i].

Return the array ans.

Note that a subarray is a contiguous part of the array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,5,4,3,6]
Output: [1,4,2,1,5]
Explanation: For nums[0] the longest subarray in which 1 is the maximum is nums[0..0] so ans[0] = 1.
For nums[1] the longest subarray in which 5 is the maximum is nums[0..3] so ans[1] = 4.
For nums[2] the longest subarray in which 4 is the maximum is nums[2..3] so ans[2] = 2.
For nums[3] the longest subarray in which 3 is the maximum is nums[3..3] so ans[3] = 1.
For nums[4] the longest subarray in which 6 is the maximum is nums[0..4] so ans[4] = 5.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [1,2,3,4,5]
Explanation: For nums[i] the longest subarray in which it's the maximum is nums[0..i] so ans[i] = i + 1.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 105
  • All elements in nums are distinct.

Solutions

Solution 1: Monotonic Stack

This problem is a template for monotonic stack. We only need to use the monotonic stack to find the position of the first element larger than $nums[i]$ on the left and right, denoted as $left[i]$ and $right[i]$. Then, the interval length with $nums[i]$ as the maximum value is $right[i] - left[i] - 1$.

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