最小化数组中相邻元素之间的最大差异

给定一个非递减数组arr[]和一个整数K ，任务是从数组中删除K 个元素，使得相邻元素之间的最大差异最小。
注： K < N – 2

例子：

Input: arr[] = {3, 7, 8, 10, 14}, K = 2 
Output: 2 
Explanation: 
After removing elements A[0] and A[4], 
The maximum difference between adjacent elements is minimum. 
After removing elements, the remaining array is [7, 8, 10] 

Input: arr[] = [12, 16, 22, 31, 31, 38], K = 3 
Output: 6 
Explanation: 
After removing elements A[3], A[4] and A[5], 
The maximum difference between adjacent elements is minimum. 
After removing elements, the remaining array is [12, 16, 22] 

方法 1：蛮力想法是生成大小为N – K的数组的子集，并计算每个子序列中相邻元素的最大差异。最后，找到这些最大差异中的最小值。

方法二：最优方法

• 仔细观察，可以注意到，如果从数组之间的某处（即不是末尾元素）移除元素，那么剩余元素的最大差异只能增加或保持不变。
  例如：

Let the given array be {1, 5, 6},

If we remove the element 5(not the end element), 
then the maximum difference will always increase.

Therefore, It is always better to remove end elements.

• 这意味着删除 K 个元素后的结果数组将是大小为 N – K 的原始数组的子数组。
• 因此，我们可以迭代所有大小为 N – K 的子数组，并为每个子数组找到相邻元素之间的最大差异。最后，找到相邻元素的所有最大差异中的最小值。

下面是上述方法的实现：

// C++ implementation to find the
// minimum of the maximum difference
// of the adjacent elements after
// removing K elements from the array

// K elements from the array
int minimumAdjacentDifference(int a[],
                        int n, int k)
{
    // Initialising the
    // minimum difference
    int minDiff = INT_MAX;
 
    // Iterating over all
    // subarrays of size n-k
    for (int i = 0; i <= k; i++) {
         
        // Maximum difference after
        // removing elements
        int maxDiff = INT_MIN;
        for (int j = 0; j < n - k - 1; j++) {
            for (int p = i; p <= i + j; p++) {
                maxDiff = max(maxDiff,
                     a[p + 1] - a[p]);
            }
        }
        // Minimum Adjacent Difference
        minDiff = min(minDiff, maxDiff);
    }
    return minDiff;
}

方法三：高效的方法

• 使用方法2的思想，我们需要找到所有大小为N-K的子数组的最大相邻元素差异的最小值。 如果我们创建一个差异数组，即初始数组的相邻元素的差异数组，那么我们所有的需要做的是找到这个差异数组的所有大小为 N – K – 1 的子数组的最大值的最小元素（因为这个最大值将代表原始数组大小为 N – K 的子数组的最大相邻差异）。
• 为了执行此操作，我们可以使用使用双端队列的滑动窗口方法。有关此方法，请参阅滑动窗口最大值（大小为 K 的所有子数组的最大值）。
