Leetcode-Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array II

Follow up for "Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array":
What if duplicates are allowed?

Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?

Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.

(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2).

Find the minimum element.

The array may contain duplicates.

Analysis:

For this problem, if we find that num[start]==num[mid]==num[end], we have to search both the left part and right part, because we do not know the min value is in which part. For example: 4 4 4 4 4 1 2 3 4 and 4 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 4.

Solution:

 1 public class Solution { 2     public int findMin(int[] num) { 3         if (num.length==0) return -1; 4         int start = 0, end = num.length-1; 5         int min = findMinRecur(num,start,end); 6         return min; 7     } 8      9     //NOTE: We need to consider the ending case that start==end, this happens when there is only one element in the array!10     public int findMinRecur(int[] num, int start, int end){11         if (start==end-1 || start==end){12             if (num[start]<num[end]) return num[start];13             else return num[end];14         }15         16         int mid = (start+end)/2;17         int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;18         if (num[mid]<num[start]){19             min = findMinRecur(num,start,mid);20             return min;21         }22 23         if (num[mid]>num[end]){24             start = mid;25             min = findMinRecur(num,mid,end);26             return min;27         }28         29         if (num[mid]==num[start] && num[mid]==num[end]){30             int min1 = findMinRecur(num,start,mid);31             int min2 = findMinRecur(num,mid,end);32             if (min1<min2) return min1;33             else return min2;34         }35         36         if (num[start]>num[end]) return num[end];37         else return num[start];38     }39 }
