1139. Largest 1-Bordered Square

Description

Given a 2D grid of 0s and 1s, return the number of elements in the largest square subgrid that has all 1s on its border, or 0 if such a subgrid doesn't exist in the grid.

 

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,1,1]]
Output: 9

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[1,1,0,0]]
Output: 1

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= grid.length <= 100
  • 1 <= grid[0].length <= 100
  • grid[i][j] is 0 or 1

Solutions

Solution 1: Prefix Sum + Enumeration

We can use the prefix sum method to preprocess the number of consecutive 1s down and to the right of each position, denoted as down[i][j] and right[i][j].

Then we enumerate the side length $k$ of the square, starting from the largest side length. Then we enumerate the upper left corner position $(i, j)$ of the square. If it meets the condition, we can return $k^2$.

The time complexity is $O(m \times n \times \min(m, n))$, and the space complexity is $O(m \times n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the grid, respectively.
