Problem description:

given a string, find the longest palindrome string in it

Solution:

1.brute force 

  O(n^3)

just enumerate start and end of the substring and using head pointer and tail pointer to judge if it‘s a palindrome

2.enumerate center

but I failed to think of even-length palindrome

3.dp

so sorry for this part...

dp[i][j](i <= j) = 1 if a[i]...a[j] is a substring

                     = 0 else

then dp[i][i] = 1 for all i

        dp[i][j] = (a[i] == a[j] && dp[i-1][j+1]) for j - i > 2;

        dp[i][i+1] = (a[i] == a[i+1]);

since the matrix is n^2 and each element is written only once, O(n^2)

4.using suffix trees

reducing to O(nlogn)

perhaps refer to wiki might offer a good solution

5.Manacher‘s Algorithm

6. using KMP algorithms

however,the solution is wrong since match part does not necessarily is a palindrome

but the point is worth thinking

another problem:what if it aims to find the longest subsequence？
