Monge array
Appearance
In computer science, an m-by-n array of real numbers is a Monge Array if for all i,j,k,l such that:
- and
which yields:
So whenever we pick two rows and two columns of a Monge Array and consider the four elements at the intersection points, the sum of the upper-left and lower right elements is less than or equal to the sum of the lower-left and upper-right elements.
This array is Monge Array:
For example, take the intersection of rows 2 and 4 with columns 1 and 5. The four elements are:
17 + 7 = 24
23 + 11 = 34
It holds that the sum of the upper-left and lower right elements is less than or equal to the sum of the lower-left and upper-right elements.
