To find the maximum sum by selecting non-adjacent elements from a list of numbers, you can use dynamic programming. Start by creating an array to store the maximum sum up to each element. Iterate through the list of numbers and for each element, calculate the maximum sum by either including the current element or excluding it. Keep track of the maximum sum achieved so far. At the end of the iteration, the final element in the array will contain the maximum sum that can be achieved by selecting non-adjacent elements.

In a residual graph, the maximum flow that can be achieved is the maximum amount of flow that can be sent from the source to the sink without violating capacity constraints on the edges.
In a network with lower bounds on the flow of each edge, the maximum flow that can be achieved is the total flow that satisfies all the lower bounds on the edges while maximizing the flow from the source to the sink.
The activity selection problem involves selecting a maximum number of non-overlapping activities from a set of activities that have different start and end times. The greedy algorithm helps in solving this problem efficiently by selecting the activity with the earliest end time at each step, ensuring that the maximum number of activities can be scheduled without overlapping.
The time complexity of finding the maximum element in a list using the Python max function is O(n), where n is the number of elements in the list.
One efficient way to find the maximum value in a sliding window of a given array is to use a data structure like a deque (double-ended queue) to store the indices of elements in the window. By iterating through the array and maintaining the maximum value within the window, you can update the deque to ensure that it only contains relevant indices. This approach allows you to find the maximum value in the sliding window with a time complexity of O(n), where n is the number of elements in the array.
