Trionic Array II

Hard

You receive an integer array nums of length n.

A trionic subarray is a contiguous subarray nums[l...r] (with 0 <= l < r < n) for which there exist indices l < p < q < r such that:

  • nums[l...p] is strictly increasing,

  • nums[p...q] is strictly decreasing,

  • nums[q...r] is strictly increasing.

Produce the maximum sum of any trionic subarray in nums.

Example 1

Input: nums = [0,-2,-1,-3,0,2,-1]

Output: -4

Explanation: Pick l = 1, p = 2, q = 3, r = 5:

  • nums[l...p] = nums[1...2] = [-2, -1] is strictly increasing (-2 < -1).

  • nums[p...q] = nums[2...3] = [-1, -3] is strictly decreasing (-1 > -3)

  • nums[q...r] = nums[3...5] = [-3, 0, 2] is strictly increasing (-3 < 0 < 2).

  • Sum = (-2) + (-1) + (-3) + 0 + 2 = -4.

Example 2

Input: nums = [1,4,2,7]

Output: 14

Explanation: Pick l = 0, p = 1, q = 2, r = 3:

  • nums[l...p] = nums[0...1] = [1, 4] is strictly increasing (1 < 4).

  • nums[p...q] = nums[1...2] = [4, 2] is strictly decreasing (4 > 2).

  • nums[q...r] = nums[2...3] = [2, 7] is strictly increasing (2 < 7).

  • Sum = 1 + 4 + 2 + 7 = 14.

Constraints

  • 4 <= n = nums.length <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • It is guaranteed that at least one trionic subarray exists.
