2002. Maximum Product of the Length of Two Palindromic Subsequences

https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-product-of-the-length-of-two-palindromic-subsequences

Description

Given a string s, find two disjoint palindromic subsequences of s such that the product of their lengths is maximized. The two subsequences are disjoint if they do not both pick a character at the same index.

Return the maximum possible product of the lengths of the two palindromic subsequences.

A subsequence is a string that can be derived from another string by deleting some or no characters without changing the order of the remaining characters. A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.

Example 1:

example-1
**Input:** s = "leetcodecom"
**Output:** 9
**Explanation**: An optimal solution is to choose "ete" for the 1st subsequence and "cdc" for the 2nd subsequence.
The product of their lengths is: 3 * 3 = 9.

Example 2:

**Input:** s = "bb"
**Output:** 1
**Explanation**: An optimal solution is to choose "b" (the first character) for the 1st subsequence and "b" (the second character) for the 2nd subsequence.
The product of their lengths is: 1 * 1 = 1.

Example 3:

**Input:** s = "accbcaxxcxx"
**Output:** 25
**Explanation**: An optimal solution is to choose "accca" for the 1st subsequence and "xxcxx" for the 2nd subsequence.
The product of their lengths is: 5 * 5 = 25.

Constraints:

  • 2 <= s.length <= 12

  • s consists of lowercase English letters only.
