说到DP solution，我发现很奇怪的是没有人提到LIS可以简化为LCS。你所需要做的就是对原始序列的副本进行排序，删除所有重复的副本，然后对它们进行LCS。在伪代码中是:

def LIS(S):
    T = sort(S)
    T = removeDuplicates(T)
    return LCS(S, T)

以及用Go语言编写的完整实现。如果你不需要重构解，你就不需要维护整个n^2 DP矩阵。

func lcs(arr1 []int) int {
    arr2 := make([]int, len(arr1))
    for i, v := range arr1 {
        arr2[i] = v
    }
    sort.Ints(arr1)
    arr3 := []int{}
    prev := arr1[0] - 1
    for _, v := range arr1 {
        if v != prev {
            prev = v
            arr3 = append(arr3, v)
        }
    }

    n1, n2 := len(arr1), len(arr3)

    M := make([][]int, n2 + 1)
    e := make([]int, (n1 + 1) * (n2 + 1))
    for i := range M {
        M[i] = e[i * (n1 + 1):(i + 1) * (n1 + 1)]
    }

    for i := 1; i <= n2; i++ {
        for j := 1; j <= n1; j++ {
            if arr2[j - 1] == arr3[i - 1] {
                M[i][j] = M[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
            } else if M[i - 1][j] > M[i][j - 1] {
                M[i][j] = M[i - 1][j]
            } else {
                M[i][j] = M[i][j - 1]
            }
        }
    }

    return M[n2][n1]
}

这是一个O(n²)的Java实现。我只是没有使用二分搜索来找到S中最小的元素，它是>= than x，我只是使用了一个for循环。使用二分搜索将使复杂度为O(n logn)

public static void olis(int[] seq){

    int[] memo = new int[seq.length];

    memo[0] = seq[0];
    int pos = 0;

    for (int i=1; i<seq.length; i++){

        int x = seq[i];

            if (memo[pos] < x){ 
                pos++;
                memo[pos] = x;
            } else {

                for(int j=0; j<=pos; j++){
                    if (memo[j] >= x){
                        memo[j] = x;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
            //just to print every step
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(memo));
    }

    //the final array with the LIS
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(memo));
    System.out.println("The length of lis is " + (pos + 1));

}

              val seq = tp._2

                (len + 1, x :: seq) // reversely recorded to avoid O(n)
              } else {
                (1, List(x))
              }
          }
          sofar :+ resIfEndsAtCurr.maxBy(_._1)
        }
    }.maxBy(_._1)._2.reverse
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]) = {
    println(longestIncrSubseq(List(
      0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15)))
