Problem Statement

You are given two integer arrays value and decay, and an integer m.

  • value[i] represents the initial value at index i.
  • decay[i] represents how much the value decreases after each selection of index i.

You may select any index multiple times. The total number of selections across all indices must not exceed m.

If you select index i for the tth time, where t is 1-indexed, the value gained is value[i] - decay[i] * (t - 1).

Return the maximum total value you can obtain. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

 

Example 1:

Input: value = [6,5,4], decay = [2,1,1], m = 4

Output: 19

Explanation:

One optimal sequence of selections is as follows:

  • By selecting index 0, the value gained is 6.
  • By selecting index 1, the value gained is 5.
  • By selecting index 2, the value gained is 4.
  • By selecting index 0 again, the value gained is 6 - 2 = 4.

The total value is 6 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19. No other sequence of at most 4 selections gives a higher total value.

Example 2:

Input: value = [7,2,2], decay = [3,2,1], m = 2

Output: 11

Explanation:

One optimal sequence of selections is as follows:

  • By selecting index 0, the value gained is 7.
  • By selecting index 0 again, the value gained is 7 - 3 = 4.

The total value is 7 + 4 = 11.

Example 3:

Input: value = [4,3], decay = [5,4], m = 5

Output: 7

Explanation:

One optimal sequence of selections is as follows:

  • By selecting index 0, the value gained is 4.
  • By selecting index 1, the value gained is 3.

The total value is 4 + 3 = 7.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= value.length == decay.length <= 105
  • 1 <= value[i], decay[i] <= 109​​​​​​​
  • 1 <= m <= 109

Approach Overview

Problem Overview: The exact algorithm and optimal strategy for Maximum Total Value depend entirely on the precise problem statement, including constraints, input format, and what "value" represents. Multiple LeetCode-style problems share this title pattern but require very different techniques such as dynamic programming, greedy selection, or heap-based optimization.

Without the original prompt, generating a concrete algorithm risks presenting an incorrect solution. For example, a "maximum total value" objective might involve selecting non-overlapping intervals (typically solved with dynamic programming and binary search), choosing k items under constraints (often solved using greedy strategies and sorting), or maximizing weighted profit across events (frequently solved with DP + prefix decisions or priority queues). Each variation leads to different complexity guarantees and implementation details.

Provide the full problem description including constraints, input structure, and example cases. With that information, the correct solution approach, complexity analysis, and optimized implementations can be produced.
