Maximize minimum of array generated by maximums of same indexed elements of two rows of a given Matrix

Last Updated : 08 Mar, 2022

Given a matrix mat[][] of N rows and M columns, the task is to choose any two rows(i, j) (0 ? i, j ? N – 1) and construct a new array A[] of size M, where A[k] = max(mat[i][k], mat[j][k]) such that minimum of A[] is maximum possible.

Examples:

Input: mat[][] = {{5, 0, 3, 1, 2}, {1, 8, 9, 1, 3}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {9, 1, 0, 3, 7}, {2, 3, 0, 6, 3}, {6, 4, 1, 7, 0}}
Output: 3
Explanation:
Choose two rows i = 0 and j = 4. Then, A[] = {5, 3, 3, 6, 3} and min(A[]) is 3, which is maximum possible.

Input: mat[][] = {{2, 13, 41, 5}, {91, 11, 10, 13}, {12, 3, 28, 6}}
Output: 13
Explanation:
Choose two rows i = 0 and j = 1. Then, A[] = {91, 13, 41, 13} and min(A[]) is 13, which is maximum possible.

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Initialize a variable global_max with INT_MAX, which stores the maximum of a minimum of array constructed from any two rows of mat[][].
Iterate through every possible combination of rows i and j, and find the minimum of array constructed from them as row_min.
In each iteration, update global_max to the maximum of row_min and itself.
After the above steps, print the value of global_max as the result.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the maximum of
// minimum of array constructed from
// any two rows of the given matrix
int getMaximum(int N, int M,
               vector<vector<int> > mat)
{
    // Initialize global max as INT_MIN
    int global_max = INT_MIN;
 
    // Iterate through the rows
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Iterate through remaining rows
        for (int j = i + 1; j < N; j++) {
 
            // Initialize row_min as INT_MAX
            int row_min = INT_MAX;
 
            // Iterate through the column
            // values of two rows
            for (int k = 0; k < M; k++) {
 
                // Find max of two elements
                int m = max(mat[i][k],
                            mat[j][k]);
 
                // Update the row_min
                row_min = min(row_min, m);
            }
 
            // Update the global_max
            global_max = max(global_max,
                             row_min);
        }
    }
 
    // Print the global max
    return global_max;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    // Given matrix mat[][]
    vector<vector<int> > mat
        = { { 5, 0, 3, 1, 2 },
            { 1, 8, 9, 1, 3 },
            { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 },
            { 9, 1, 0, 3, 7 },
            { 2, 3, 0, 6, 3 },
            { 6, 4, 1, 7, 0 } };
 
    // Given number of rows and columns
    int N = 6, M = 5;
 
    // Function Call
    cout << getMaximum(N, M, mat);
 
    return 0;
}
