一、题目
Given a string S, find the longest palindromic substring in S.
You may assume that the maximum length of S is 1000, and there exists one unique longest palindromic substring.
Example
Given the string =
"abcdzdcab"
, return"cdzdc"
.Challenge
O(n2) time is acceptable. Can you do it in O(n) time.
求一个字符串中的最长回文子串。
二、解题思路
区间类动态规划
Time O(n^2), Space O(n^2)
用dp[i][j]
来存DP的状态,需要较多的额外空间: Space O(n^2)
DP的4个要素
- 状态:
dp[i][j]
: s.charAt(i)到s.charAt(j)是否构成一个Palindrome
- 转移方程:
dp[i][j] = s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && (j - i <= 2 || dp[i + 1][j - 1])
- 初始化:
dp[i][j] = true
whenj - i <= 2
- 结果:
- 找
maxLen = j - i + 1;
,并得到相应longest substring:longest = s.substring(i, j + 1);
- 找
中心扩展
这种方法基本思想是遍历数组,以其中的1个元素或者2个元素作为palindrome的中心,通过辅助函数,寻找能拓展得到的最长子字符串。外层循环 O(n),内层循环O(n),因此时间复杂度 Time O(n^2),相比动态规划二维数组存状态的方法,因为只需要存最长palindrome子字符串本身,这里空间更优化:Space O(1)。
三、解题代码
区间DP,Time O(n^2) Space O(n^2)
public class Solution {
/**
* @param s input string
* @return the longest palindromic substring
*/
public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
if(s == null || s.length() <= 1) {
return s;
}
int len = s.length();
int maxLen = 1;
boolean [][] dp = new boolean[len][len];
String longest = null;
for(int k = 0; k < s.length(); k++){
for(int i = 0; i < len - k; i++){
int j = i + k;
if(s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && (j - i <= 2 || dp[i + 1][j - 1])){
dp[i][j] = true;
if(j - i + 1 > maxLen){
maxLen = j - i + 1;
longest = s.substring(i, j + 1);
}
}
}
}
return longest;
}
}
Time O(n^2) Space O(1)
public class Solution {
/**
* @param s input string
* @return the longest palindromic substring
*/
public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
if (s.isEmpty()) {
return null;
}
if (s.length() == 1) {
return s;
}
String longest = s.substring(0, 1);
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
// get longest palindrome with center of i
String tmp = helper(s, i, i);
if (tmp.length() > longest.length()) {
longest = tmp;
}
// get longest palindrome with center of i, i+1
tmp = helper(s, i, i + 1);
if (tmp.length() > longest.length()) {
longest = tmp;
}
}
return longest;
}
// Given a center, either one letter or two letter,
// Find longest palindrome
public String helper(String s, int begin, int end) {
while (begin >= 0 && end <= s.length() - 1 && s.charAt(begin) == s.charAt(end)) {
begin--;
end++;
}
return s.substring(begin + 1, end);
}
}
