Find maximum sum array of length less than or equal to m

Last Updated : 20 Dec, 2022

Given n arrays of different lengths consisting of integers, the target is to pick atmost one subarray from an array such that the combined length of all picked sub arrays does not become greater than m and also sum of their elements is maximum.(also given that value of n can not be more than 100) Prerequisite: Knapsack Problem Examples :

Input : n = 5, m = 6,
arr[][m] = {{3, 2, 3, 5},
{2, 7, -1},
{2, 8, 10},
{4, 5, 2, 6, 1}
{3, 2, 3, -2}};

Output : Maximum sum can be obtained is 39
Explanation : We are allowed to pick at most one subarray from every array.
We get total sum 39 as ((5) + (7) + (8 + 10) + (4 + 5))

Input : n = 3, m = 4
arr[][m] = {{2, 3, 2},
{3, -1, 7, 10},
{4, 8, 10, -5, 3}};

Output : Maximum sum can be obtained is 35

This problem is similar to Knapsack problem.where you have to either pick an element or leave it. We will have the same strategy here. Given that the total number of elements in these n arrays is at most 10^5. It is also known that m is at most 10^3 and the input arrays can contain negative numbers. First, make a DP table (2D array) of size n * m and then, pre-compute the cumulative sum of an array so that the maximum sum of every length from 1 to n of that array can be easily computed so that for every given array there can be a maximum continuous sum for length k, where k is from 1 to length of the array. In detail, process input arrays one by one. First, compute the maximum sum subarrays of the processed array for all sizes from 1 to length. Then, update our dynamic programming table with these values and we start processing the next array. Algorithm :

Pick one array from n arrays and start processing it.
Calculate the maximum contiguous sum for length k, k is from 1 to the length of the array, and save it in the array maxSum.
Now, fill the DP table by storing the maximum sum possible for every length 0 to m.
In the last step, we traverse the last row(nth row) of DP table and pick the maximum sum possible and return it.

Below is the implementation of the above approach :

C++

// maximum sum of array of size less than or 
// equal to m from given n arrays

int maxSum(int arr[][N]) 
{ 
    // dp array of size N x M 
    int dp[N][M]; 
 
    // current_arr of size M 
    int current_arr[M]; 
 
    // maxsum of size M 
    int maxsum[M]; 
 
    memset(dp, -1, sizeof(dp[0][0]) * N * M); 
 
    current_arr[0] = 0; 
 
    // if we have 0 elements 
    // from 0th array 
    dp[0][0] = 0; 
 
    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { 
        int len = arr[i - 1][0]; 
 
        // compute the cumulative sum array 
        for (int j = 1; j <= len; j++) { 
            current_arr[j] = arr[i - 1][j]; 
            current_arr[j] += current_arr[j - 1]; 
            maxsum[j] = INF; 
        }

                if (j + k - 1 <= len) 
                    maxsum[j] = max(maxsum[j], 
                                current_arr[j + k - 1] - 
                                current_arr[k - 1]); 
 
        // every state is depending on 
        // its previous state 
        for (int j = 0; j <= 6; j++) 
            dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j]; 
 
        // computation of dp table similar 
        // approach as knapsack problem

            for (int cur = 1; cur <= j && cur <= len; cur++) 
                dp[i][j] = max(dp[i][j], 
                            dp[i - 1][j - cur] + 
                                        maxsum[cur]); 
    } 
 
    // now we have done processing with 
    // the last array lets find out 
    // what is the maximum sum possible 
    int ans = 0; 
    for (int i = 0; i <= 6; i++) 
        ans = max(ans, dp[5][i]);     
 
    return ans; 
} 
 
// Driver program
