Looking for flaw in my solution for Round #605(Div. 3D)

Problem: 1272D - Удалите один элемент

My Solution:108781615

Hello all,

My idea: if two elements are in strictly increasing order(i.e a[I] < a[I+1] ) dp[I+1] = dp[I] + 1

else check if a[I-1] < a[I+1] then dp[I+1] = dp[I-1] + 1

I am not sure where this is going wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

You should also save another state to indicate whether you have already used up your ability to delete an element or not. Something like:

$$$dp[i+1][b]=dp[i][b]+1$$$, for $$$b\in \{0,1\}$$$, if $$$a[i]<a[i+1]$$$

$$$dp[i+1][1]=dp[i-1][0]+1$$$, if $$$a[i-1]<a[i+1]$$$

return $$$max(dp[n][0],dp[n][1])$$$
