Longest subsequence such that difference between adjacents is one
Given an array of n size, the task is to find the longest subsequence such that difference between adjacents is one.
Examples:
Input : arr[] = {10, 9, 4, 5, 4, 8, 6}
Output : 3
As longest subsequences with difference 1 are, "10, 9, 8",
"4, 5, 4" and "4, 5, 6"
Input : arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 7, 2, 1}
Output : 7
As longest consecutive sequence is "1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1"
This problem is based upon the concept of Longest Increasing Subsequence Problem.
Let arr[0..n-1] be the input array and
dp[i] be the length of the longest subsequence (with
differences one) ending at index i such that arr[i]
is the last element of the subsequence.
Then, dp[i] can be recursively written as:
dp[i] = 1 + max(dp[j]) where 0 < j < i and
[arr[j] = arr[i] -1 or arr[j] = arr[i] + 1]
dp[i] = 1, if no such j exists.
To find the result for a given array, we need
to return max(dp[i]) where 0 < i < n.
Following is a Dynamic Programming based implementation. It follows the recursive structure discussed above.
// C++ program to find the longest subsequence such
// the difference between adjacent elements of the
// subsequence is one.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to find the length of longest subsequence

{
// Initialize the dp[] array with 1 as a
// single element will be of 1 length
int dp[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
dp[i] = 1;
// Start traversing the given array
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
// Compare with all the previous elements
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
// If the element is consecutive then
// consider this subsequence and update
// dp[i] if required.
if ((arr[i] == arr[j] + 1) || (arr[i] == arr[j] - 1))
dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j] + 1);
}
}
// Longest length will be the maximum value
// of dp array.
