MULPAL - Multiplicative Palindrome
Given a sequence of N integers. Find two disjoint contiguous palindromic subsequences. Lets call them X and Y. Your task is to find X and Y such that product of their lengths is maximal possible.
Input
First line will contain one integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 106).
Second line will contain N integers representing a sequence from the text of the task (0 ≤ Ai ≤ 2*109).
Output
First and only line of output should contain only one integer, the maximum possible product from the text of problem.
Example
Input: 2 1 1 Output: 1
Input: 4 1 1 2 2 Output: 4
Input: 6 10 11 12 12 11 10 Output: 4
Input: 6 0 1 0 1 0 1 Output: 9

disjoint contiguous palindromic subsequences = disjoint palindromic substrings? (looking each number as a character)

Yes, my O ( N ) got TLE, some IO optimization took care of it. Last edit: 2011-10-15 21:38:26 |

@Shaka Shadows:In ur post length(11 12 12 11)*length(10),in Y part 10 is not a palindrome.then hw can u consider it?

If anyone is getting WA a lot, then you either forget n = 1 case or long long |

Time limit is a little strict. Even O(N) solution may not fit in the time. |

What was your Time-complexity? |

Yes :). Besides, X and Y don't need to be one exactly after the other. Read the text carefully. |

So, ultimately it has nothing to do with numbers, numbers can be considered as a single element. Last edit: 2010-12-11 19:17:22 |

No, the answer is 4 because length(11 12 12 11) * length(10) = 4 * 1 = 4. The problem asks for finding 2 disjoint and palindromic contiguous sequences, X and Y, such that length(X) * length(Y) is maximum. |

Is the answer to 3rd sample 4 because:
