how to find the element which is greater than or equal to its row and smaller or equal to its column in a matrix

65 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi everyone; I am going to find the saddle points of a matrix M. The question is given below...
Write a function called saddle that finds saddle points in the input matrix M. For the purposes of this problem, a saddle point is defined as an element whose value is greater than or equal to every element in its row, and less than or equal to every element in its column. Note that there may be more than one saddle point in M. Return a matrix indices that has exactly two columns. Each row of indices corresponds to one saddle point with the first element of the row containing the row index of the saddle point and the second column containing the column index. The saddle points are provided in indices in the same order they are located in M according to column-major ordering. If there is no saddle point in M, then indices is the empty array.
I am trying that code:
function indices = saddle(M)
[ rows,cols ] = size(M);
[valR,posR] = max(M,[],2);
[valC,posC] = min(M,[],1);
indices= [];
for i = 1:length(posR)
if i == posC(posR(i))
indices= [indices; i, posR(i)];
end
end
end
It is running fine. But when i test my code for
>> mat=zeros(5,3)
mat =
0 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0
I am getting wrong output :
saddle(mat)
ans =
1 1
the correct output must be
saddle(mat)
ans =
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
1 3
2 3
3 3
4 3
5 3
What i am doing wrong?? Thanks in advance

hello, can I ask why did u use ind_row_col array ?
Actually I used smilar code but I got an error message :( can you pls explain?
I generally got error at if line statement
function indices = saddle(M)
%saddle point is defined as an element whose
% value is greater than or equal to every element in its row,
% and less than or equal to every element in its column
indices = [];
[row, col] = size(M)
for ii = 1:row
for jj = 1:col
if M(ii,jj) >= M(ii,:) && M(ii,jj) <= M(:,jj)
indices = [indices ; ii,jj];
end
end
end

Copying code from the internet is not always a good way to learn best-practice coding: Solving this problem using loops misses using MATLAB's excellent code vectorization abilities. It would be much neater and faster to use bsxfun instead, like this:
function idx = saddle(mat)
row_mx = bsxfun(@ge,mat,max(mat,[],2));
col_mn = bsxfun(@le,mat,min(mat,[],1));
[R,C] = find(row_mx & col_mn);
idx = [R,C];
end
Which gives this:
>> saddle(zeros(5,3))
ans =
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
1 3
2 3
3 3
4 3
5 3

@Stephen It gives wrong result for row vectors.
Above code answer :
>> saddle([1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1])
ans =
1 1 4 5
Expected answer :
>> saddle([1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1])
ans =
1 4
1 5
Corrected code :
function indices = saddle(mat)
[row, ~] = size(mat);
row_mx = bsxfun(@ge, mat, max(mat, [], 2));
col_mn = bsxfun(@le, mat, min(mat, [], 1));
[R, C] = find(row_mx & col_mn);
if row == 1
indices = [R; C]';
else
indices = [R, C];
end
end

@Akshay Padti: a simpler approach is to just replace the last line with this:
idx = [R(:),C(:)];
For example, using your test data:
saddle([1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1])
ans = 2×2
1 4 1 5
function idx = saddle(mat)
row_mx = bsxfun(@ge,mat,max(mat,[],2));
col_mn = bsxfun(@le,mat,min(mat,[],1));
[R,C] = find(row_mx & col_mn);
idx = [R(:),C(:)];
end

Write a function called saddle that finds saddle points in the input matrix M. For the purposes of this problem, a saddle point is defined as an element whose value is greater than or equal to every element in its row, and less than or equal to every element in its column. Note that there may be more than one saddle point in M. Return a matrix called indices that has exactly two columns. Each row of indices corresponds to one saddle point with the first element of the row containing the row index of the saddle point and the second element containing the column index. If there is no saddle point in M, then indices is the empty array.
solution :
function indices=saddle(M)
indices=[];
[a b]=size(M);
q=1;
for i=1:a
for j=1:b
x=M(i,:);
y=M(:,j);
c=M(i,j)>=x;
d=M(i,j)<=y;
if ~ismember(0,c) && ~ismember(0,d)
indices(q,1)=i;
indices(q,2)=j;
q=q+1;
end
end
end

I get everything except for c and d. How does it go through each row and column to find the saddle point? Can you just thoroughly explain how c and d works please?

function indices=saddle(M)
[m,n] = size (M);
indices=[];%we want an empty matrix if there r no saddle points
for i=1:m; %going thru all the rows and each element of the row.
maxi=max(M(i,:));% finding the max of the elements of the specific row.
for j=1:n;% running thru all the coloumns and each element of the column .
mini=min(M(:,j));% finding the min of the elements of each column.
if maxi==mini%checking if the max of a row is same as the min of a column, if yes then
indices=[indices;i j];% indices will give null matrix in first column and i and j in the next row
end
end
end
hope this helps...try to understand the code instead of copying.

Dear Muhammad,
You know it's very unfair continuously to ask the forum to solve your exercises/homework. I can understand you because also I was student and I wanted to solve my exercise to proceed but just as a friendly recommendation "Try to understand your exercises!". It's the only way to go one step further without cheating most of all yourself. The code that you posted has been posted before 4 days also to another programming forum Find saddle points in Matlab.
Now to your exercise. Your problem is very simple.
1. Take a piece of white paper and write down a matrix
2. Try to write down an algorithm
3. Write your own function
In my opinion this the way to learn programming. Good luck!
Regards,

@Marco I tried this man, but somehow the code is not working. Its showing an error which says that && operator should be convertible to scalar logical value.

The reason your code doesn't give your expected result can be summarized by this sentence from the documentation for max: If the maximum value occurs more than once, then max returns the index corresponding to the first occurrence.
I think you were expecting it to return the indices of all the maxima.

i think anyone should try their own first rather than looking for answers in the community.
my attempt was this.
this passes all the test cases...
function indices = saddle (M)
s = size (M);
indices = [];
for ii = 1 : s(1)
maxy = max ( M(ii,:) );
for jj = 1 : s(2)
if M(ii,jj) == maxy;
miny = min (M(:,jj));
if M(ii,jj) == miny;
indices = [indices; ii jj];
end
end
end

This is very close to what I was working on. Can you explain the empty array and the use of them in the "if" statement please?
I'm trying to place why the necessary syntax is "x = [x M(a, b)]" and "y = [y ; a,b]".

If you say
x = [x M(a, b)]
then x must exist in advance otherwise it won't know what to concatenate M onto. Even though x is an empty array, that's enough for it to exist and allow stuff to be stitched onto it.

You should use two for loops to check for each element of a row and a column. Refer this for much simpler code: http://farzicoders.blogspot.in/2015/08/write-function-called-saddle-that-finds.html
