K-Concatenation Maximum Sum

Description

Given an integer array arr and an integer k, modify the array by repeating it k times.

For example, if arr = [1, 2] and k = 3 then the modified array will be [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2].

Return the maximum sub-array sum in the modified array. Note that the length of the sub-array can be 0 and its sum in that case is 0.

As the answer can be very large, return the answer modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [1,2], k = 3
Output: 9

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,-2,1], k = 5
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: arr = [-1,-2], k = 7
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 10^5

  • 1 <= k <= 10^5

  • -10^4 <= arr[i] <= 10^4

Solution

If k = 1, find the maximum sub-array sum in arr.

Else if k = 2 or sum(arr) <= 0, find the maximum sub-array sum in concat(arr, arr). (The maximum sub-array cannot contain a complete arr if sum(arr) <= 0)

Else find the maximum sub-array sum in concat(arr, arr) + sum(arr) * (k - 2).

Let max_sum[i] be maximum sub-array sum ending with arr[i]. Then,

Or .
