Substring with highest frequency length product - GeeksforGeeks


Substring with highest frequency length product - GeeksforGeeks
Given a string which contains lower alphabetic characters, we need to find out such a substring of this string whose product of length and frequency in string is maximum among all possible choices of substrings.



An efficient solution to solve this problem by first constructing longest common prefix array, now suppose value of lcp[i] is K then we can say that i-th and (i+1)-th suffix has K length prefix in common i.e. there is a substring of length K which is repeating twice. In the same way, let three consecutive values of lcp are (K, K-2, K+1) then we can say that there is a substring of length (K-2) which is repeating three times in the string.
Now after above observation, we can see that our result will be such a range of lcp array whose smallest element times number of elements in the range is maximum because range will correspond to the frequency of string and smallest element of range will correspond to length of repeating string now this reformed problem can be solved similar to largest rectangle in histogram problem.
In below code lcp array is constructed by Kasai’s algorithm.
struct suffix
{
    int index;  // To store original index
    int rank[2]; // To store ranks and next rank pair
};
 
// A comparison function used by sort() to compare
// two suffixes. Compares two pairs, returns 1 if
// first pair is smaller
int cmp(struct suffix a, struct suffix b)
{
    return (a.rank[0] == b.rank[0])?
           (a.rank[1] < b.rank[1] ?1: 0):
           (a.rank[0] < b.rank[0] ?1: 0);
}
 
// This is the main function that takes a string
// 'txt' of size n as an argument, builds and
// return the suffix array for the given string
vector<int> buildSuffixArray(string txt, int n)
{
    // A structure to store suffixes and their indexes
    struct suffix suffixes[n];
 
    // Store suffixes and their indexes in an array

    // the suffixes alphabatically and maintain their

    }
 
    // Sort the suffixes using the comparison function
    // defined above.
    sort(suffixes, suffixes+n, cmp);
 
    // At his point, all suffixes are sorted according to first
    // 2 characters.  Let us sort suffixes according to first 4
    // characters, then first 8 and so on
