最长递增子序列的势O（n）解

我试图回答这个问题，只使用递归（动态编程）http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_increasing_subsequence

从这篇文章和SO中，我意识到最有效的现有解决方案是O（nlgn）。我的解决方案是O（N），我找不到它失败的情况。我包括我使用的单元测试用例。

public class LongestIncreasingSubseq {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] arr = {0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15, 1};
        getLongestSubSeq(arr);
    }

    public static List<Integer> getLongestSubSeq(int[] arr) {
        List<Integer> indices = longestRecursive(arr, 0, arr.length-1);
        List<Integer> result = new ArrayList<>();
        for (Integer i : indices) {
            result.add(arr[i]);
        }

        System.out.println(result.toString());
        return result;
    }

    private static List<Integer> longestRecursive(int[] arr, int start, int end) {
        if (start == end) {
            List<Integer> singleton = new ArrayList<>();
            singleton.add(start);
            return singleton;
        }

        List<Integer> bestRightSubsequence = longestRecursive(arr, start+1, end); //recursive call down the array to the next start index
        if (bestRightSubsequence.size() == 1 && arr[start] > arr[bestRightSubsequence.get(0)]) {
            bestRightSubsequence.set(0, start); //larger end allows more possibilities ahead
        } else if (arr[start] < arr[bestRightSubsequence.get(0)]) {
            bestRightSubsequence.add(0, start); //add to head
        } else if (bestRightSubsequence.size() > 1 && arr[start] < arr[bestRightSubsequence.get(1)]) {
            //larger than head, but still smaller than 2nd, so replace to allow more possibilities ahead
            bestRightSubsequence.set(0, start); 
        }

        return bestRightSubsequence;
    }

    @Test
    public void test() {
        int[] arr1 = {0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15, 1};
        int[] arr2 = {7, 0, 9, 2, 8, 4, 1};
        int[] arr3 = {9, 11, 2, 13, 7, 15};
        int[] arr4 = {10, 22, 9, 33, 21, 50, 41, 60, 80};
        int[] arr5 = {1, 2, 9, 4, 7, 3, 11, 8, 14, 6};
        assertEquals(getLongestSubSeq(arr1), Arrays.asList(0, 4, 6, 9, 11, 15));
        assertEquals(getLongestSubSeq(arr2), Arrays.asList(0, 2, 8));
        assertEquals(getLongestSubSeq(arr3), Arrays.asList(9, 11, 13, 15));
        assertEquals(getLongestSubSeq(arr4), Arrays.asList(10, 22, 33, 50, 60, 80));
        assertEquals(getLongestSubSeq(arr5), Arrays.asList(1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14));
    }

}

成本严格为O（n），因为关系T（n） = T（n-1） + O（1） = > T（n） = O（n）

任何人都可以找到失败的情况，或者存在任何错误吗？非常感谢。

更新：感谢大家指出我在之前的实现中的错误。下面的最终代码通过它曾经失败的所有测试用例。

这个想法是列出（计算）所有可能的递增子序列（每个子序列从索引i从0到N.length-1开始），并选择最长的子序列。我使用memoization（使用哈希表）来避免重新计算已经计算的子序列 - 因此对于每个起始索引，我们只计算所有递增的子序列一次。

但是，我不确定在这种情况下如何正式推导出时间复杂性 - 如果有人能阐明这一点，我将不胜感激。非常感谢。
