If Δ is large relative to the spread of the data (i.e., Δ ≥ max |a_j−a_i|), then the constraint is vacuous and the problem reduces to LIS/ LDS, solvable in O(n log n).

Origins of Missax
The roots of Missax trace back to the medieval hilltop village of Virelia, nestled in the emerald valleys of Eastern Europe. Legend holds that the festival began in 372 AD, following a celestial event interpreted as a divine sign of unity. Locals, once fragmented by tribal feuds, united to host a grand celebration under “The Three Stars” sky, pledging peace through shared tradition.
