Description
Given a string s, partition s such that every substring of the partition is a palindrome. Return all possible palindrome partitioning of s.
Example 1:
Input: s = "aab"
Output: [["a","a","b"],["aa","b"]]
Example 2:
Input: s = "a"
Output: [["a"]]
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 16s contains only lowercase English letters.
Solutions
Solution 1: Preprocessing + DFS (Backtracking)
We can use dynamic programming to preprocess whether any substring in the string is a palindrome, i.e., f[i][j] indicates whether the substring s[i..j] is a palindrome.
Next, we design a function dfs(i), which represents starting from the i-th character of the string and partitioning it into several palindromic substrings, with the current partition scheme being t.
If i = |s|, it means the partitioning is complete, and we add t to the answer array and then return.
Otherwise, we can start from i and enumerate the end position j from small to large. If s[i..j] is a palindrome, we add s[i..j] to t, then continue to recursively call dfs(j+1). When backtracking, we need to pop s[i..j].
The time complexity is O(n × 2^n), and the space complexity is O(n^2). Here, n is the length of the string.
