Constrained Subsequence Sum

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the maximum sum of a non-empty subsequence of that array such that for every two consecutive integers in the subsequence, nums[i] and nums[j], where i < j, the condition j - i <= k is satisfied.

A subsequence of an array is obtained by deleting some number of elements (can be zero) from the array, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [10,2,-10,5,20], k = 2
Output: 37
Explanation: The subsequence is [10, 2, 5, 20].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,-2,-3], k = 1
Output: -1
Explanation: The subsequence must be non-empty, so we choose the largest number.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [10,-2,-10,-5,20], k = 2
Output: 23
Explanation: The subsequence is [10, -2, -5, 20].

class Solution {
    public int constrainedSubsetSum(int[] nums, int k) {
        int n = nums.length;
        int[] dp = new int[n];
        Deque<Integer> decreasing = new LinkedList();
        int ans = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i ++) {
            int prevMaxSum = Math.max(0, decreasing.isEmpty() ? 0 : dp[decreasing.peekFirst()]);
            dp[i] = nums[i] + prevMaxSum;
            ans = Math.max(ans, dp[i]);
            while (!decreasing.isEmpty() && dp[i] >= dp[decreasing.peekLast()]) {
                decreasing.pollLast();
            }
            decreasing.offer(i);
            if (i - decreasing.peekFirst() >= k) {
                decreasing.pollFirst();
            }
        }
        return ans;
    }
