Let s[i] = a[i]+…+a[i+k-1] ,s[i+1] = a[i+k]-a[i], s[i+2] = a[ i+k+1]-a[i+1]
is converted to all prefixes and minimum values>0
1️⃣.k>=n/2 ----> s[1]=a[1]+.,…+ a[k], s[2]=xa[1], s[3]=xa[2];
take s[1]->0 after subtracting the prefix min M[ ], then a[1] +…+a[k]+M[n-k+1] is the minimum value
2️⃣k<n/2
if s[i]=a[i]+…+a[i+k-1]>0,s [i+k]=a[i+k]+…+a[i+k+k-1]>0
Then s[i+k*2]>0 can be summarized in 1️⃣
