这可以用动态规划在O(n²)中解决。同样的Python代码是这样的:-

def LIS(numlist):
    LS = [1]
    for i in range(1, len(numlist)):
        LS.append(1)
        for j in range(0, i):
            if numlist[i] > numlist[j] and LS[i]<=LS[j]:
                LS[i] = 1 + LS[j]
    print LS
    return max(LS)

numlist = map(int, raw_input().split(' '))
print LIS(numlist)

输入:5 19 5 81 50 28 29 1 83 23

输出将是:[1,2,1,3,3,3,4,1,5,3] 5

输出列表的list_index是输入列表的list_index。输出列表中给定list_index的值表示该list_index的最长递增子序列长度。

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]
}

    LS = [1]
    for i in range(1, len(numlist)):
        LS.append(1)

这是另一个O(n²)JAVA实现。不需要递归/记忆来生成实际的子序列。只是一个字符串数组，存储每个阶段的实际LIS和一个数组，存储每个元素的LIS的长度。非常简单。看看吧:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

class LNG_INC_SUB//Longest Increasing Subsequence
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("Enter Numbers Separated by Spaces to find their LIS\n");
        String[] s1=br.readLine().split(" ");
        int n=s1.length;
        int[] a=new int[n];//Array actual of Numbers
        String []ls=new String[n];// Array of Strings to maintain LIS for every element
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
        {
            a[i]=Integer.parseInt(s1[i]);
        }
        int[]dp=new int[n];//Storing length of max subseq.
        int max=dp[0]=1;//Defaults
        String seq=ls[0]=s1[0];//Defaults
        for(int i=1;i<n;i++)
        {
            dp[i]=1;
            String x="";
            for(int j=i-1;j>=0;j--)
            {
                //First check if number at index j is less than num at i.
                // Second the length of that DP should be greater than dp[i]
                // -1 since dp of previous could also be one. So we compare the dp[i] as empty initially
                if(a[j]<a[i]&&dp[j]>dp[i]-1)
                {
                    dp[i]=dp[j]+1;//Assigning temp length of LIS. There may come along a bigger LIS of a future a[j]
                    x=ls[j];//Assigning temp LIS of a[j]. Will append a[i] later on
                }
            }
            x+=(" "+a[i]);
            ls[i]=x;
            if(dp[i]>max)
            {
                max=dp[i];
                seq=ls[i];
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Length of LIS is: " + max + "\nThe Sequence is: " + seq);
    }
}

        int end = len-1;

                result = mid;
            }else if(table[mid] == a){
                return len-1;
            }else{
                end = mid-1;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {        
        
//        int[] t = {1, 2, 5,9,16};
//        System.out.println(binarySearch(t , 9, 5));
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        int size = in.nextInt();//4;
        
        int A[] = new int[size];
        int table[] = new int[A.length]; 
        int k = 0;
        while(k<size){
            A[k++] = in.nextInt();
            if(k<size-1)

        table[0] = A[0];
        int len = 1; 
        for (int i = 1; i < A.length; i++) {
            if(table[0] > A[i]){
                table[0] = A[i];
            }else if(table[len-1]<A[i]){

求最长递增子序列(LIS)的O(NLog(N))递归DP方法

解释

该算法涉及创建节点格式为(a,b)的树。

A表示到目前为止我们考虑添加到有效子序列的下一个元素。

B表示剩余子数组的起始索引，如果a被添加到目前为止我们所拥有的子数组的末尾，则下一个决策将从该子数组开始。

算法

We start with an invalid root (INT_MIN,0), pointing at index zero of the array since subsequence is empty at this point, i.e. b = 0. Base Case: return 1 if b >= array.length. Loop through all the elements in the array from the b index to the end of the array, i.e i = b ... array.length-1. i) If an element, array[i] is greater than the current a, it is qualified to be considered as one of the elements to be appended to the subsequence we have so far. ii) Recurse into the node (array[i],b+1), where a is the element we encountered in 2(i) which is qualified to be appended to the subsequence we have so far. And b+1 is the next index of the array to be considered. iii) Return the max length obtained by looping through i = b ... array.length. In a case where a is bigger than any other element from i = b to array.length, return 1. Compute the level of the tree built as level. Finally, level - 1 is the desired LIS. That is the number of edges in the longest path of the tree.

注意:算法的记忆部分被省略了，因为它是从树中清除的。

随便举个例子 标记为x的节点从DB内存值中获取。

Java实现

public int lengthOfLIS(int[] nums) {
            return LIS(nums,Integer.MIN_VALUE, 0,new HashMap<>()) -1;
    }
    public int LIS(int[] arr, int value, int nextIndex, Map<String,Integer> memo){
        if(memo.containsKey(value+","+nextIndex))return memo.get(value+","+nextIndex);
        if(nextIndex >= arr.length)return 1;

        int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        for(int i=nextIndex; i<arr.length; i++){
            if(arr[i] > value){
                max = Math.max(max,LIS(arr,arr[i],i+1,memo));
            }
        }
        if(max == Integer.MIN_VALUE)return 1;
        max++;
        memo.put(value+","+nextIndex,max);
        return max;
    }
