将给定数组拆分为 K 个子数组，以最小化它们的最大值和最小值之间的差异

给定一个由N 个整数组成的排序数组arr[]和一个整数K ，任务是将数组拆分为K个子数组，使得每个子数组的最大和最小元素的差之和最小。

例子：

Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 3, 7}, K = 4 
Output: 0 
Explanation: 
The given array can be split into 4 subarrays as {1}, {3}, {3}, and {7}. 
The difference between minimum and maximum of each subarray is: 
1. {1}, difference = 1 – 1 = 0 
2. {3}, difference = 3 – 3 = 0 
3. {3}, difference = 3 – 3 = 0 
4. {7}, difference = 7 – 7 = 0 
Therefore, the sum all the difference is 0 which is minimized.
Input: arr[] = {4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42}, K = 3 
Output: 12 
Explanation: 
The given array can be split into 3 subarrays as {4, 8, 15, 16}, {23}, and {42}. 
The difference between minimum and maximum of each subarray is: 
1. {4, 8, 15, 16}, difference = 16 – 12 = 0 
2. {23}, difference = 23 – 23 = 0 
3. {42}, difference = 42 – 42 = 0 
Therefore, the sum all the difference is 12 which is minimized. 
 

方法：要将给定的数组拆分为具有给定条件的K个子数组，其想法是在元素arr[i+1]和arr[i]之间差异最大的索引(比如i )处进行拆分。以下是实现此方法的步骤：

1. 将给定数组arr[] 中连续元素对之间的差异存储到另一个数组中(比如temp[] )。
2. 按升序对数组temp[]进行排序。
3. 将总差值(比如diff )初始化为给定数组arr[]的第一个和最后一个元素的差值。
4. 将数组temp[] 中的前K – 1 个值与上述差值相加。
5. diff 中存储的值是K子数组的最大和最小元素之差的最小和。

下面是上述方法的实现：

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the subarray
int find(int a[], int n, int k)
{
    vector v;
 
    // Add the difference to vectors
    for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
        v.push_back(a[i - 1] - a[i]);
    }
 
    // Sort vector to find minimum k
    sort(v.begin(), v.end());
 
    // Initialize result
    int res = a[n - 1] - a[0];
 
    // Adding first k-1 values
    for (int i = 0; i < k - 1; ++i) {
        res += v[i];
    }
 
// Return the minimized sum
    return res;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
// Given array arr[]
    int arr[] = { 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 };
 
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
 
// Given K
int K = 3;
 
// Function Call
    cout << find(arr, N, K) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

    }
 
    // Sort vector to find minimum k
    Collections.sort(v);
 
    // Initialize result
    int res = a[n - 1] - a[0];
 
    // Adding first k-1 values
    for(int i = 0; i < k - 1; ++i)

时间复杂度： O(N) ，其中 N 是数组中的元素数。
辅助空间： O(N) ，其中 N 是数组中元素的数量。
