题目描述

题目链接：188. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock IV

Say you have an array for which the i-th element is the price of a given stock on day i.

Design an algorithm to find the maximum profit. You may complete at most k transactions.

Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions at the same time (ie, you must sell the stock before you buy again).

例子

例子 1

Input: [2,4,1], k = 2 Output: 2 Explanation:Buy on day 1 (price = 2) and sell on day 2 (price = 4), profit = 4-2 = 2.

例子 2

Input: [3,2,6,5,0,3], k = 2 Output: 7 Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 2) and sell on day 3 (price = 6), profit = 6-2 = 4. Then buy on day 5 (price = 0) and sell on day 6 (price = 3), profit = 3-0 = 3.

解题思路

方法一

这道题是买卖股票的第四题，具体来说是第三题[Leetcode]123. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock III (C++) 的一般化版本。这里我还是沿用了第三题的思路，记录每一次买入和卖出时的利润，通过和前一次卖出结果进行比较和更新，是一种动态规划的思路。除此之外，当最大买卖次数过多（超过prices 的总量时，可以约束 k = prices.size() 来降低所需时间），代码如下：

#include <vector>
#include<bits/stdc++.h>

class Solution {
public:
    int maxProfit(int k, std::vector<int>& prices) {
        if (k == 0 || prices.size() <= 1) return 0;
        if (k > prices.size()) k = prices.size() / 2;
        std::vector<int> kth_buy(k, INT_MIN);
        std::vector<int> kth_sell(k, 0);

        for (int currentPrice: prices) {
            for (int i = k - 1; i > 0; i--) {
                kth_sell[i] = std::max(kth_sell[i], currentPrice + kth_buy[i]);
                kth_buy[i] = std::max(kth_buy[i], kth_sell[i - 1] - currentPrice);
            }
            kth_sell[0] = std::max(kth_sell[0], currentPrice + kth_buy[0]);
            kth_buy[0] = std::max(kth_buy[0], -currentPrice);
        }

        return kth_sell.back() < 0? 0 : kth_sell.back();
    }
};

• 时间复杂度: O(kn)
• 空间复杂度: O(k)

方法二

方法一应该不是最优解，有空再学习一下把最优解补上。
