Petar Minchev的解释帮助我理清了事情，但我很难解析所有内容，所以我做了一个带有过度描述性变量名和大量注释的Python实现。我做了一个简单的递归解，O(n²)解，和O(n log n)解。

我希望它能帮助理清算法!

我已经在java中使用动态编程和记忆实现了LIS。随着代码，我做了复杂性计算，即为什么它是O(n Log(base2) n)。因为我觉得理论或逻辑解释是很好的，但实际演示总是更好的理解。

package com.company.dynamicProgramming;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class LongestIncreasingSequence {

    static int complexity = 0;

    public static void main(String ...args){


        int[] arr = {10, 22, 9, 33, 21, 50, 41, 60, 80};
        int n = arr.length;

        Map<Integer, Integer> memo = new HashMap<>();

        lis(arr, n, memo);

        //Display Code Begins
        int x = 0;
        System.out.format("Longest Increasing Sub-Sequence with size %S is -> ",memo.get(n));
        for(Map.Entry e : memo.entrySet()){

            if((Integer)e.getValue() > x){
                System.out.print(arr[(Integer)e.getKey()-1] + " ");
                x++;
            }
        }
        System.out.format("%nAnd Time Complexity for Array size %S is just %S ", arr.length, complexity );
        System.out.format( "%nWhich is equivalent to O(n Log n) i.e. %SLog(base2)%S is %S",arr.length,arr.length, arr.length * Math.ceil(Math.log(arr.length)/Math.log(2)));
        //Display Code Ends

    }



    static int lis(int[] arr, int n, Map<Integer, Integer> memo){

        if(n==1){
            memo.put(1, 1);
            return 1;
        }

        int lisAti;
        int lisAtn = 1;

        for(int i = 1; i < n; i++){
            complexity++;

            if(memo.get(i)!=null){
                lisAti = memo.get(i);
            }else {
                lisAti = lis(arr, i, memo);
            }

            if(arr[i-1] < arr[n-1] && lisAti +1 > lisAtn){
                lisAtn = lisAti +1;
            }
        }

        memo.put(n, lisAtn);
        return lisAtn;

    }
}

当我运行上面的代码-

Longest Increasing Sub-Sequence with size 6 is -> 10 22 33 50 60 80 
And Time Complexity for Array size 9 is just 36 
Which is equivalent to O(n Log n) i.e. 9Log(base2)9 is 36.0
Process finished with exit code 0

c++中最简单的LIS解决方案，具有O(nlog(n))时间复杂度

#include <iostream>
#include "vector"
using namespace std;

// binary search (If value not found then it will return the index where the value should be inserted)
int ceilBinarySearch(vector<int> &a,int beg,int end,int value)
{
    if(beg<=end)
    {
        int mid = (beg+end)/2;
        if(a[mid] == value)
            return mid;
        else if(value < a[mid])
            return ceilBinarySearch(a,beg,mid-1,value);
        else
            return ceilBinarySearch(a,mid+1,end,value);

    return 0;
    }

    return beg;

}
int lis(vector<int> arr)
{
    vector<int> dp(arr.size(),0);
    int len = 0;
    for(int i = 0;i<arr.size();i++)
    {
        int j = ceilBinarySearch(dp,0,len-1,arr[i]);
        dp[j] = arr[i];
        if(j == len)
            len++;

    }
    return len;
}

int main()
{
    vector<int> arr  {2, 5,-1,0,6,1,2};
    cout<<lis(arr);
    return 0;
}

输出: 4

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));

}

O(n²)java实现:

void LIS(int arr[]){
        int maxCount[]=new int[arr.length];
        int link[]=new int[arr.length];
        int maxI=0;
        link[0]=0;
        maxCount[0]=0;

        for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
                if(arr[j]<arr[i] && ((maxCount[j]+1)>maxCount[i])){
                    maxCount[i]=maxCount[j]+1;
                    link[i]=j;
                    if(maxCount[i]>maxCount[maxI]){
                        maxI=i;
                    }
                }
            }
        }


        for (int i = 0; i < link.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(arr[i]+"   "+link[i]);
        }
        print(arr,maxI,link);

    }

    void print(int arr[],int index,int link[]){
        if(link[index]==index){
            System.out.println(arr[index]+" ");
            return;
        }else{
            print(arr, link[index], link);
            System.out.println(arr[index]+" ");
