Maximum Product of the Length of Two Palindromic Subsequences
Given a string s, find two disjoint palindromic subsequences of s such that the product of their lengths is maximized.
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
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.
