Adjacent Increasing Subarrays Detection II

Given an array nums of n integers, your task is to find the maximum value of k for which there exist two adjacent subarrays of length k each, such that both subarrays are strictly increasing.

Specifically, check if there are two subarrays of length k starting at indices a and b (a < b), where:

  • Both subarrays nums[a..a + k - 1] and nums[b..b + k - 1] are strictly increasing.
  • The subarrays must be adjacent, meaning b = a + k.

Return the maximum possible value of k.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1
Inputnums = [2,5,7,8,9,2,3,4,3,1]
Output3
The adjacent subarrays [7, 8, 9] and [2, 3, 4] are both strictly increasing, and 3 is the maximum possible value of k.
Example 2
Inputnums = [1,2,3,4,4,4,4,5,6,7]
Output2
The adjacent subarrays [1, 2] and [3, 4] are both strictly increasing, and 2 is the maximum possible value of k.

Constraints

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10^5
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
