Solution
Problem Understanding
A complete restatement of the problem, constraint analysis, and discussion of subtle edge cases.
Approaches
A narrative from the naive DP to the optimized piecewise-linear DP maintained with either a balanced BST or a segment tree, including why the optimization works and a complexity comparison table.
Algorithm Walkthrough
A numbered explanation of every step together with a correctness argument based on the maintained invariant.
Python Solution
A complete accepted Python 3 implementation using fast I/O.
Worked Examples
Step-by-step traces with markdown tables showing the evolution of the maintained data structure.
Complexity Analysis
A detailed time and space analysis tied back to the problem constraints.
Test Cases
Python assert-based tests, including samples and carefully chosen corner cases.
Edge Cases
Concrete executions on the non-obvious cases identified earlier, explaining why the algorithm remains correct.
Once the missing formulas or the original statement are available, I can write the editorial in the exact style and structure you requested.
