# PROBLEM

You are given an array A = [A_1, A_2, \dots, A_N] containing N distinct integers. Count the number of ways to form (unordered) sets of disjoint increasing subsequences of A.

Formally, count the number of sets S = \{S_1, S_2, \dots, S_k\} such that:

• Each S_i is an increasing subsequence of A.
• If i \neq j, S_i and S_j are disjoint, i.e, i\neq j \implies S_i \cap S_j = \emptyset

Note that it is not necessary that the sequences S_1, S_2, \dots, S_k form a partition of A - in other words, some elements of A may not be in any chosen subsequence.

Two sets are considered equal if they contain the same subsequences. For example, the sets \{[1, 2], [3]\} and \{[3], [1, 2]\} are considered to be the same and should only be counted once.

Note that the final answer can be rather large, so compute its remainder after dividing it by 10^9 + 7.

# QUICK EXPLANATION

• Let us process the elements from left to right one by one, and try to maintain active sequences.
• Use dynamic programming using bitsets to maintain active sequences, we can either not include the current element in any sequence, create a new sequence with the current element, or add the current element at the end of any active sequence.
• Set bit in bitmask would represent an active sequence ending at that position.

# EXPLANATION

Since the order of sequences does not matter, we will process the elements from left to right, and try adding elements either at the end of one of the active lists, or create a new list starting with this element, or not add this element at all.

Considering example A = [1,2,3,4], Suppose we have processed first three elements. We may have \{[1,2],[3]\}, or \{[2,3] \} or so on. What information do we need?

We need the last elements of all active sequences. For \{[1,2],[3]\}, we can either add 4 at end of [1,2], or at end of [3] or start a new sequence [4], or not add this element at all.

If, instead of \{[1,2],[3]\}, we had \{[2],[3]\}, the treatment would have been the same. We don’t care about elements of sequences other than the last element, because whether or not we can append at the end, solely depends on the last element.

Hence, we can represent \{[1,2],[3]\} by set \{2, 3\} denoting the endpoints of active sequences. Similar set for sequences \{[2,3] \} would be \{3\}.

Programatically, this set can be represented by a bitmask, where ith bit set would imply there’s a sequence ending at A_i.

We consider elements from left to right and try to update these.

Let’s assume f_x(mask) denote the number of unordered set of increasing sequences considering first x elements of A. We aim to compute f_x(mask) from f_{x-1}(mask) for any mask.

The transitions are as follows:

• If we do not include x-th element at all, then it contributes f_{x-1}(mask) to f_x(mask)
• If we start a new sequence with x-th element, then it contributes f_{x-1}(mask) to f_x(mask + 2^x)
• If for some active sequence ending at element y \lt x such that A_y \lt A_x, A_x can be added at end of such sequence. It contributes f_{i-1}(mask) to f_x(mask - 2^y + 2^x)

f_x(mask) can be represented by a 2D array and the DP table can be built iteratively or recursively as well.

In the end, the final answer would be the sum of f_N(mask) for all masks in [0, 2^N-1].

For recursive implementation, see setter’s solution. For iterative implementation, refer to Editorialist’s solution.

# TIME COMPLEXITY

The time complexity would be O(N * 2^N) per test case.

The actual number of operations can be estimated as \displaystyle\sum_{i = 1}^N i*2^i.

Time complexity is O(N*2^N)

True. @taran_1407 was about to update it but it got published before. He would later add a section on time complexity.

Roughly this were intended complexities for different subtasks -
15 pts - O(N*3^N)
30 pts - O(3^N)
70 pts - O(N^2*2^N)
100 pts - O(N*2^N)

There also exists O(N^3*2^N) soln but we didn’t have an explicit subtask for it because it is very difficult to cut off O(3^N) from O(N^2*2^N). For N=18 difference between O(3^N) and O(N^2*2^N) isn’t much. In the end, most O(3^N) solns in the contest did get 70 pts. N=19 was also the difference between them isn’t much. N=20 both of them would be too slow.
