Won't it just be O(n^2)? Suppose A is the input. Let F(i,+) denote the maximum sum you can accumulate with the sequence ending at A[i] and the last difference being positive. Define F(i,-) accordingly. Computing each F(i,+/i) takes linear time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
