Hi, Quintopia, Maybe you misunderstood my algorithm above. S_k is a set of ordered pair (i,j) each time we pop the min(S_k) from S_k, we insert at most 2 element in it so its size is in O(k) I think the following should be more clear: heap: MIN_HEAP visited[n][n] =

Hi, ljb, Let me have a try to prove the correctness of it. Let define a property A(S) : S is a set of ordered pair (i,j), and every pair (x,y) whose sum(x,y) is less than min{S} = sum(mi,mj) is already output. Initially, we have S_1 = {(1,1)}, A(S_1) holds. Suppose that for n, A(S_n) holds,

If we have a set of S_k = {(i,j)} , such that every pair (x,y) whose sum(x,y) max{Sk} is already output, then the next one to output is min{Sk} = sum(mi,mj), then output it, then we can obtain S_(k+1) = Sk \ {(mi,mj)} U {(mi,mj+1),(mi+1,mj)}, also for every pair (x,y) whose sum(x,y)min{S_(k+1)}
