Problem Statement

The problem “Number Of Longest Increasing Subsequence” states that you are given an array a[ ] of size n. Print the number of longest increasing subsequences in it.

Number Of Longest Increasing Subsequence

Example

a[ ] = {1, 2, 5, 4, 7}
2

Explanation: The longest increasing subsequences can be seen in the above image.

Input : a[ ] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Output : 1    (1,2,3,4,5 is the longest sub-sequence here)

Algorithm for Number Of Longest Increasing Subsequence

  1. Initialize an array a[ ] of integer type of size n.
  2. Create a function to find number of the longest increasing sub-sequences which accept an array of integer type and it’s size as it’s parameters.
  3. Create two arrays of integer type len and cnt of size n and initialize every element of both the arrays as 1. Also, initialize an integer variable lis = 1.
  4. Traverse from 1 till n-1 using i and create an inner loop from 0 to i-1.
  5. Check if the element in array a[ ] at current index of outer loop is greater than the element in array a[ ] at the current index of the inner loop, check if the value + 1 in array len[ ] at current index of inner loop is greater than the element in array len[ ] at current index of outer loop, update the value in array len[ ] at current index of outer loop as the value + 1 in array len[ ] at current index of inner loop and the value in array cnt[ ] at current index of outer loop as the value in array cnt[ ] at current index of inner loop.
  6. Else if the value + 1 in array if len[ ] at current index of inner loop is equal to the element in array len[ ] at current index of outer loop, update the value in array cnt[ ] at current index of outer loop as the sum of the value in array cnt[ ] at current index of inner loop and the outer loop itself.
  7. Store the maximum of lis and len[i] in lis.
  8. Initialize a variable ans as 0.
  9. Traverse again from 0 to n-1 and check if len[i] is equal to lis add the value at the current index of cnt in ans.
  10. Return ans.

Complexity Analysis

Time Complexity

O(n*n) where n is the number of elements in the given array a[ ]. The time complexity is the same as what is required to find the longest increasing subsequence.

Space Complexity

O(n) because we used extra n space. We have used a len[] array which stores the longest increasing subsequence ending at ith element.
