下面的c++实现还包括一些使用名为prev的数组构建实际最长递增子序列的代码。

std::vector<int> longest_increasing_subsequence (const std::vector<int>& s)
{
    int best_end = 0;
    int sz = s.size();

    if (!sz)
        return std::vector<int>();

    std::vector<int> prev(sz,-1);
    std::vector<int> memo(sz, 0);

    int max_length = std::numeric_limits<int>::min();

    memo[0] = 1;

    for ( auto i = 1; i < sz; ++i)
    {
        for ( auto j = 0; j < i; ++j)
        {
            if ( s[j] < s[i] && memo[i] < memo[j] + 1 )
            {
                memo[i] =  memo[j] + 1;
                prev[i] =  j;
            }
        }

        if ( memo[i] > max_length ) 
        {
            best_end = i;
            max_length = memo[i];
        }
    }

    // Code that builds the longest increasing subsequence using "prev"
    std::vector<int> results;
    results.reserve(sz);

    std::stack<int> stk;
    int current = best_end;

    while (current != -1)
    {
        stk.push(s[current]);
        current = prev[current];
    }

    while (!stk.empty())
    {
        results.push_back(stk.top());
        stk.pop();
    }

    return results;
}

没有堆栈的实现只是反转向量

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <limits>
std::vector<int> LIS( const std::vector<int> &v ) {
  auto sz = v.size();
  if(!sz)
    return v;
  std::vector<int> memo(sz, 0);
  std::vector<int> prev(sz, -1);
  memo[0] = 1;
  int best_end = 0;
  int max_length = std::numeric_limits<int>::min();
  for (auto i = 1; i < sz; ++i) {
    for ( auto j = 0; j < i ; ++j) {
      if (s[j] < s[i] && memo[i] < memo[j] + 1) {
        memo[i] = memo[j] + 1;
        prev[i] = j;
      }
    }
    if(memo[i] > max_length) {
      best_end = i;
      max_length = memo[i];
    }
  }

  // create results
  std::vector<int> results;
  results.reserve(v.size());
  auto current = best_end;
  while (current != -1) {
    results.push_back(s[current]);
    current = prev[current];
  }
  std::reverse(results.begin(), results.end());
  return results;
}

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));

}

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!

求最长递增子序列的O(NLog(N))方法 让我们维护一个数组，其中第i个元素是一个大小为i的子序列可以结束的最小的数字。

我故意避免进一步的细节，因为投票最多的答案已经解释了它，但这种技术最终导致使用set数据结构的整洁实现(至少在c++中)。

下面是c++中的实现(假设需要严格增加最长子序列的大小)

#include <bits/stdc++.h> // gcc supported header to include (almost) everything
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;

int main()
{
  ll n;
  cin >> n;
  ll arr[n];
  set<ll> S;

  for(ll i=0; i<n; i++)
  {
    cin >> arr[i];
    auto it = S.lower_bound(arr[i]);
    if(it != S.end())
      S.erase(it);
    S.insert(arr[i]);
  }

  cout << S.size() << endl; // Size of the set is the required answer

  return 0;
}

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:

                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]
