//! This crate implements various functions that help speed up dynamic
//! programming, most importantly the SMAWK algorithm for finding row
//! or column minima in a totally monotone matrix with *m* rows and
//! *n* columns in time O(*m* + *n*). This is much better than the
//! brute force solution which would take O(*mn*). When *m* and *n*
//! are of the same order, this turns a quadratic function into a
//! linear function.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Computing the column minima of an *m* ✕ *n* Monge matrix can be
//! done efficiently with `smawk::column_minima`:
//!
//! ```
//! use smawk::Matrix;
//!
//! let matrix = vec![
//!     vec![3, 2, 4, 5, 6],
//!     vec![2, 1, 3, 3, 4],
//!     vec![2, 1, 3, 3, 4],
//!     vec![3, 2, 4, 3, 4],
//!     vec![4, 3, 2, 1, 1],
//! ];
//! let minima = vec![1, 1, 4, 4, 4];
//! assert_eq!(smawk::column_minima(&matrix), minima);
//! ```
//!
//! The `minima` vector gives the index of the minimum value per
//! column, so `minima[0] == 1` since the minimum value in the first
//! column is 2 (row 1). Note that the smallest row index is returned.
//!
//! # Definitions
//!
//! Some of the functions in this crate only work on matrices that are
//! *totally monotone*, which we will define below.
//!
//! ## Monotone Matrices
//!
//! We start with a helper definition. Given an *m* ✕ *n* matrix `M`,
//! we say that `M` is *monotone* when the minimum value of row `i` is
//! found to the left of the minimum value in row `i'` where `i < i'`.
//!
//! More formally, if we let `rm(i)` denote the column index of the
//! left-most minimum value in row `i`, then we have
//!
//! ```text
//! rm(0) ≤ rm(1) ≤ ... ≤ rm(m - 1)
//! ```
//!
//! This means that as you go down the rows from top to bottom, the
//! row-minima proceed from left to right.
//!
//! The algorithms in this crate deal with finding such row- and
//! column-minima.
//!
//! ## Totally Monotone Matrices
//!
//! We say that a matrix `M` is *totally monotone* when every
//! sub-matrix is monotone. A sub-matrix is formed by the intersection
//! of any two rows `i < i'` and any two columns `j < j'`.
//!
//! This is often expressed as via this equivalent condition:
//!
//! ```text
//! M[i, j] > M[i, j']  =>  M[i', j] > M[i', j']
//! ```
//!
//! for all `i < i'` and `j < j'`.
//!
//! ## Monge Property for Matrices
//!
//! A matrix `M` is said to fulfill the *Monge property* if
//!
//! ```text
//! M[i, j] + M[i', j'] ≤ M[i, j'] + M[i', j]
//! ```
//!
//! for all `i < i'` and `j < j'`. This says that given any rectangle
//! in the matrix, the sum of the top-left and bottom-right corners is
//! less than or equal to the sum of the bottom-left and upper-right
//! corners.
//!
//! All Monge matrices are totally monotone, so it is enough to
//! establish that the Monge property holds in order to use a matrix
//! with the functions in this crate. If your program is dealing with
//! unknown inputs, it can use [`monge::is_monge`] to verify that a
//! matrix is a Monge matrix.
