1131. Maximum of Absolute Value Expression (Medium)

Given two arrays of integers with equal lengths, return the maximum value of:

|arr1[i] - arr1[j]| + |arr2[i] - arr2[j]| + |i - j|

where the maximum is taken over all 0 <= i, j < arr1.length.

 

Example 1:

Input: arr1 = [1,2,3,4], arr2 = [-1,4,5,6]
Output: 13

Example 2:

Input: arr1 = [1,-2,-5,0,10], arr2 = [0,-2,-1,-7,-4]
Output: 20

 

Constraints:

• 2 <= arr1.length == arr2.length <= 40000
• -10^6 <= arr1[i], arr2[i] <= 10^6

Solution 1.

Since |a - b| = max(a - b, b - a).

|Ai - Aj| + |Bi - Bj| + |i - j| is the maximum of the following:

1. + Ai - Aj + Bi - Bj + i - j = + (Ai + Bi + i) - (Aj + Bj + j)
2. + Ai - Aj + Bi - Bj - i + j = + (Ai + Bi - i) - (Aj + Bj - j)
3. + Ai - Aj - Bi + Bj + i - j = + (Ai - Bi + i) - (Aj - Bj + j)
4. + Ai - Aj - Bi + Bj - i + j = + (Ai - Bi - i) - (Aj - Bj - j)
5. - Ai + Aj + Bi - Bj + i - j = - (Ai - Bi - i) + (Aj - Bj - j)
6. - Ai + Aj + Bi - Bj - i + j = - (Ai - Bi + i) + (Aj - Bj + j)
7. - Ai + Aj - Bi + Bj + i - j = - (Ai + Bi - i) + (Aj + Bj - j)
8. - Ai + Aj - Bi + Bj - i + j = - (Ai + Bi + i) + (Aj + Bj + j)

Take case 1 and 8 for example, we need to find the maximum difference in array a where a[i] = A[i] + B[i] + i.

Similarly, we need to find the maximum difference in array b, c, and d where b[i] = A[i] + B[i] - i, c[i] = A[i] - B[i] + i, d[i] = A[i] - B[i] - i.
