给定大小的子序列中所有对的最小差的最大值

给定大小为N的整数数组A [] ，任务是找到大小为B的子序列，以使它们中的任意两个之间的最小差异最大，并打印出该最大的最小差异。

例子：

Input: A[ ] = {1, 2, 3, 5}, B = 3 
Output: 2 
Explanation: 
Possible subsequences of size 3 are {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 5} and {2, 3, 5}. 
For {1, 3, 5}, possible differences are (|1 – 3| = 2), (|3 – 5| = 2) and (|1 – 5| = 4), Minimum(2, 2, 4) = 2 
For the remaining subsequences, the minimum difference comes out to be 1. 
Hence, the maximum of all minimum differences is 2.

Input: A[ ] = {5, 17, 11}, B = 2 
Output: 12 
Explanation: 
Possible subsequences of size 2 are {5, 17}, {17, 11} and {5, 11}. 
For {5, 17}, possible difference is (|5 – 17| = 12), Minimum = 12 
For {17, 11}, possible difference is (|17 – 11| = 6), Minimum = 6 
For {5, 11}, possible difference is (|5 – 11| = 6), Minimum = 6 
Maximum(12, 6, 6) = 12 
Hence, the maximum of all minimum differences is 12.

天真的方法：
解决此问题的最简单方法是生成大小为B的所有可能子序列，并在所有可能的对之间找到最小差异。最后，在所有最小差异中找到最大值。

时间复杂度： O(2 ^N * N ² )
辅助空间： O(N)

高效方法：
请按照以下步骤使用Binary Search优化上述方法：

• 将搜索空间从0设置为数组中的最大元素( maxm )
• 对于每一个计算出的中间，检查是否有可能获得大小B的子序列与任何一对之间的最小差值等于中旬。
• 如果可能的话，然后存储在中期的变量，并找到在右半更好的答案，并丢弃中间的左半
• 否则，遍历中部的左半部分，以检查是否存在具有最小成对最小差异的子序列。
• 最后，在二分查找终止后，打印出最高的中位数，在该最高中位数中发现任何具有等于中位数对的最小差的子序列。

Illustration: 
A[ ] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = 3 
Search space: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 
Steps involved in binary search are as follows:

• start = 0, end = 5, mid = (0 + 5) / 2 = 2 
  Subsequence of size B with minimum difference of mid(= 2) is {1, 3, 5}. 
  Therefore, ans = 2
• Now, traverse the right half. 
  start = mid +1 = 3, end = 5, mid = (3 + 5) / 2 = 4 
  Subsequence of size B with minimum difference of mid(= 4) is not possible. 
  Therefore, ans is still 2.
• Now, traverse the left half 
  start = 3, end = mid – 1 = 3, mid = (3 + 3) / 2 = 3 
  Subsequence of size B with minimum difference of mid(= 3) is not possible. 
  Therefore, ans is still 2.
• Again, traverse left half. 
  start = 3, end = mid – 1 = 2. 
  Since start exceeds end, binary search teminates.
• Finally, the largest possible minimum difference is 2.

下面是上述方法的实现：
