This question has been discussed over here once...It was concluded that this can be solved in O(n) if we know there is a fixed range up to which the elements keep on increasing and decreasing..for example in an array of 12 elements, we know 3 elements keep on increasing monotonically, then 3 elements keep on decreasing monotonically and so on
