3201. Find the Maximum Length of Valid Subsequence I

Description

You are given an integer array nums.

A subsequence sub of nums with length x is called valid if it satisfies:

  • (sub[0] + sub[1]) % 2 == (sub[1] + sub[2]) % 2 == ... == (sub[x - 2] + sub[x - 1]) % 2.

Return the length of the longest valid subsequence of nums.

A subsequence is an array that can be derived from another array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]

Output: 4

Explanation:

The longest valid subsequence is [1, 2, 3, 4].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,1,1,2,1,2]

Output: 6

Explanation:

The longest valid subsequence is [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2].

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,3]

Output: 2

Explanation:

The longest valid subsequence is [1, 3].

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 2 * 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 107

Solutions

Solution 1: Dynamic Programming

We set $k = 2$.

Based on the problem description, we know that for a subsequence $a_1, a_2, a_3, \cdots, a_x$, if it satisfies $(a_1 + a_2) \bmod k = (a_2 + a_3) \bmod k$. Then $a_1 \bmod k = a_3 \bmod k$. This means that the result of taking modulo $k$ for all odd-indexed elements is the same, and the result for all even-indexed elements is the same as well.

We can solve this problem using dynamic programming. Define the state $f[x][y]$ as the length of the longest valid subsequence where the last element modulo $k$ equals $x$, and the second to last element modulo $k$ equals $y$. Initially, $f[x][y] = 0$.

Iterate through the array $nums$, and for each number $x$, we get $x = x \bmod k$. Then, we can enumerate the sequences where two consecutive numbers modulo $j$ yield the same result, where $j \in [0, k)$. Thus, the previous number modulo $k$ would be $y = (j - x + k) \bmod k$. At this point, $f[x][y] = f[y][x] + 1$.

The answer is the maximum value among all $f[x][y]$.

The time complexity is $O(n \times k)$, and the space complexity is $O(k^2)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array $\textit{nums}$, and $k=2$.
