issue #1543
The SMAWK algorithm is an efficient method for finding row minima in totally monotone matrices, a specific type of matrix where entries decrease or stay constant along each row and column. Developed for optimizing complex search operations, this algorithm leverages a unique recursive approach, reducing computation time to O(m+n) for an m×n matrix, making it ideal for applications in computational geometry, dynamic programming, and machine learning. With SMAWK, developers gain a powerful tool for solving matrix-based problems more effectively, significantly improving the performance of algorithms that depend on finding minimum values in large, structured datasets
Time Complexity :
The SMAWK algorithm has a time complexity of O(m+n), where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns in the matrix. This efficiency is achieved because the algorithm processes each row and column in a single pass, effectively discarding columns that do not contribute to the minima.
Space Complexity :
Regarding space complexity, SMAWK also requires O(m+n) additional space. This space is used for storing row and column indices, the reduced set of columns during processing, and result vectors that hold the minima for each row.
Overall, the efficient time and space complexities make the SMAWK algorithm particularly well-suited for working with large matrices that have a totally monotonic property, enabling quick and effective results while minimizing computational overhead.
