Making the Grade

A straight dirt road connects two fields on FJ's farm, but it changes elevation more than FJ would like. His cows do not mind climbing up or down a single slope, but they are not fond of an alternating succession of hills and valleys. FJ would like to add and remove dirt from the road so that it becomes one monotonic slope (either sloping up or down).

You are given N integers A1, ... , AN (1 ≤ N ≤ 2,000) describing the elevation (0 ≤ Ai ≤ 1,000,000,000) at each of N equally-spaced positions along the road, starting at the first field and ending at the other. FJ would like to adjust these elevations to a new sequence B1, . ... , BN that is either nonincreasing or nondecreasing. Since it costs the same amount of money to add or remove dirt at any position along the road, the total cost of modifying the road is

|AB1| + |AB2| + ... + |AN - BN |

Please compute the minimum cost of grading his road so it becomes a continuous slope. FJ happily informs you that signed 32-bit integers can certainly be used to compute the answer.

Input

* Line 1: A single integer: N
* Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains a single integer elevation: Ai

Output

* Line 1: A single integer that is the minimum cost for FJ to grade his dirt road so it becomes nonincreasing or nondecreasing in elevation.

题目类型:线性DP

算法分析:dp[i][j]表示前i个数字且最后数字是第j小的最小改动量,这里有一个贪心思想是一个数字改动成相邻两个数字的值的时候才能构成最小改动量。初始化dp[1][0] = a[1] - b[i],其中在非递减序列中b[i]为a[i]递增排序后的值,状态转移方程为dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][k]) + abs(a[i] - b[j]) k=1->j,由于min(dp[i-1][k]) = min(dp[i-1][1], dp[i-1][2], … dp[i-1][j]),而dp[i-1][1]当i==2时是已知的,所以可以利用前缀性质优化求解k所在的循环,最后循环更新最大值即可
