Maximum Strength of K Disjoint Subarrays
You are given an array of integers nums with length n, and a positive odd integer k.
Select exactly k disjoint subarrays sub1, sub2, ..., subk from nums such that the last element of subi appears before the first element of sub{i+1} for all 1 <= i <= k - 1. The goal is to maximize their combined strength.
The strength of the selected subarrays is defined as:
strength = k * sum(sub1) - (k - 1) * sum(sub2) + (k - 2) * sum(sub3) - ... - 2 * sum(sub{k-1}) + sum(subk)
where sum(subi) is the sum of the elements in the i-th subarray.
Return the maximum possible strength that can be obtained from selecting exactly k disjoint subarrays from nums.
Note that the chosen subarrays don't need to cover the entire array.
nums = [1,2,3,-1,2], k = 322nums[0..2], nums[3..3], and nums[4..4], giving 3 * (1 + 2 + 3) - 2 * (-1) + 2 = 22.nums = [12,-2,-2,-2,-2], k = 5645 * 12 - 4 * (-2) + 3 * (-2) - 2 * (-2) + (-2) = 64.Constraints
- 1 <= n <= 10^4
- -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
- 1 <= k <= n
- 1 <= n * k <= 10^6
- k is odd.
