Given an array, arr[] of size N, the task is to find the number of sub-arrays ending with arr[i] and arr[i] is the minimum element of that sub-array. 

Note: Elements in array will be unique.

Examples:  

Input: arr[] = {3, 1, 2, 4} 
Output: 1 2 1 1 
Explanation: 
Subarrays ending with 3 where 3 is the minimum element = {3} 
Subarrays ending with 1 where 1 is the minimum element = {3, 1}, {1} 
Subarrays ending with 2 where 2 is the minimum element = {2} 
Subarrays ending with 4 where 4 is the minimum element = {4}

Input: arr[] = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1} 
Output: 1 2 3 4 5 

Approach: The idea is similar to Next Greater Element , We have to find the previous smaller element by maintaining a stack.

Step-wise approach for the problem is:  

  • Push the first element (arr[0]) of the array with count as 1 in the stack because first element will be the sub-array itself ending with current element arr[0] and minimum of the subarray.
  • Then for each element arr[i] in the array- 
    • Pop the elements from the stack until the top of the stack is greater than the current element and add the count of the popped element in the count of current element.
    • Push current element and the count as a pair in the stack.

For example: For arr[] = {3, 1, 2, 4}, 

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ implementation to find the number
// of sub-arrays ending with arr[i] which
// is the minimum element of the subarray
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the number
// of sub-arrays ending with arr[i] which
// is the minimum element of the subarray
int min_subarray(int a[], int n)
{
    stack<pair<int, int> > st;
     
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
         
        // There exists a subarray of
        // size 1 for each element
        int count = 1;
 
        // Remove all greater elements
        while (!st.empty() &&
               st.top().first > a[i]) {
             
            // Increment the count
            count += st.top().second;
 
            // Remove the element
            st.pop();
        }
 
        // Push the current element
        // and it's count
        st.push({ a[i], count });
 
        cout << count << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int a[] = {5, 1, 3, 2, 1};
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
 
    min_subarray(a, n);
 
    return 0;
}
