Summary
This is a DP Problem - a modified Longest Increasing Subsequence. Also it can be solved as Longest Common Subsequence but LIS is more clear.

Explanation
To find Longest Common Subsequence you can use DP: Let we have 2 sequences a[1..n], b[1..n]. And table m[0..n,0..n] were m[i,j] if the longest common subsequence of a[1..i] and b[1..j]. Then for each (i,j):

$$m[i,j]=m[i-1,j-1]+1, a[i]=b[j]$$

$$m[i,j]=max(m[i-1,j],m[i,j-1]), a[i]<>b[j]$$
