题意
定义一个序列的权值为相邻两项的差的绝对值,你可以翻转一次 \([l, r]\) 并使得权值最小。
\(n \le 3 \times 10 ^ 5\)。
Sol
显然考虑翻转一次 \([i, j]\) 的方案。
当前贡献便为:
\[|a_{i - 1} - a_{j}| + |a_{j + 1} - a_{i}| - |a_{i - 1} - a_{i}| - |a_{j + 1} - j|
\]
但是这样绝对值很多,很难处理。
考虑使用一个线段表示 \(a_{i - 1} \to a_i\)。
注意到两条线段有贡献,显然两条线段相交或包含,并且需要满足线段的方向相同。
直接把所有相邻的线段预处理出来,分成两组分别处理即可。
