In other words, you can turn a quadratic time complexity +(which is often too expensive) into linear time complexity. + +Finding optimal line breaks in a paragraph of text is an example of an algorithm +which would normally take O(_n_²) time for _n_ words. With this crate, the +running time becomes linear. Please see the [textwrap crate][textwrap] for an +example of this. + +## Usage + +Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: + +```toml +[dependencies] +smawk = "0.3" +``` + +You can now efficiently find row and column minima. Here is an example where we +find the column minima: + +```rust +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. + +### Cargo Features + +This crate has an optional dependency on the +[`ndarray` crate](https://docs.rs/ndarray/), which provides an efficient matrix +implementation. Enable the `ndarray` Cargo feature to use it. + +## Documentation + +**[API documentation][api-docs]** + +## Changelog + +### Version 0.3.2 (2023-09-17) + +This release adds more documentation and renames the top-level SMAWK functions. +The old names have been kept for now to ensure backwards compatibility, but they +will be removed in a future release. + +- [#65](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/65): Forbid the use of unsafe + code. +- [#69](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/69): Migrate to the Rust 2021 + edition. +- [#73](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/73): Add examples to all + functions. +- [#74](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/74): Add “mathematics” as a crate + category. +- [#75](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/75): Remove `smawk_` prefix from + optimized functions. + +### Version 0.3.1 (2021-01-30) + +This release relaxes the bounds on the `smawk_row_minima`, +`smawk_column_minima`, and `online_column_minima` functions so that they work on +matrices containing floating point numbers. + +- [#55](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/55): Relax bounds to `PartialOrd` + instead of `Ord`. +- [#56](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/56): Update dependencies to their + latest versions. +- [#59](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/59): Give an example of what + SMAWK does in the README. + +### Version 0.3.0 (2020-09-02) + +This release slims down the crate significantly by making `ndarray` an optional +dependency. + +- [#45](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/45): Move non-SMAWK code and unit + tests out of lib and into separate modules. +- [#46](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/46): Switch `smawk_row_minima` + and `smawk_column_minima` functions to a new `Matrix` trait. +- [#47](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/47): Make the dependency on the + `ndarray` crate optional. +- [#48](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/48): Let `is_monge` take a + `Matrix` argument instead of `ndarray::Array2`. +- [#50](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/50): Remove mandatory + dependencies on `rand` and `num-traits` crates. + +### Version 0.2.0 (2020-07-29) + +This release updates the code to Rust 2018. + +- [#18](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/18): Make `online_column_minima` + generic in matrix type. +- [#23](https://github.com/mgeisler/smawk/pull/23): Switch to the + [Rust 2018][rust-2018] edition.
