Trivial algorithm : (Assuming it is in ascending order in both columns and rows)
logarithmic time in max(n,m) Divide the 2-d table to 4 parts, the -right-bottom-most and the left-bottom-most are the smallest and largest values in the subtable. It should be clear that atleast two subtables can be rejected straightforward from just this info. Hence the complexity T(m,n) = 2 * T(m/4,n/4) + c Rohit Saraf Third Year Undergraduate Compter Science & Engineering IIT Bombay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
