LetA be a matrix with real entries and letj(i) be the index of the leftmost column containing the maximum value in rowi ofA.A is said to bemonotone ifi1 >i2 implies thatj(i1) ≥J(i2).A istotally monotone if all of its submatrices are monotone. We show that finding the maximum entry in each row of an arbitraryn xm monotone matrix requires Θ(m logn) time, whereas if the matrix is totally monotone the time is Θ(m) whenm≥n and is Θ(m(1 + log(n/m))) whenm<n. The problem of finding the maximum value…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a single geometric structure, called the Voronoi diagram, which can be constructed rapidly and contains all of the relevant proximity information in only linear space, and is used to obtain O(N log N) algorithms for most of the problems considered.

Although the theoretical model implies that there can be great gains for the two-layer strategy, even in cases where no crossovers are required, when the typical design rules for laying out VLSI circuits are considered, there is no substantial advantage to the twolayer approach over the one-layer approach.
