Description

Given a totally monotone matrix $A$ whose entries $A(i, j)$ are implicitly defined by some function $f(i, j)$ (assume $f$ takes constant time to evaluate for all relevant $(i, j)$), determine the minimum value in each row.

Parameters

$m,n$: dimensions of matrix; assume $m≥n$

possibly uses a function $f$ to define entries; assume evaluation of $f$ takes time $O(1)$
