(4%). An m×n array A of real numbers is a Monge array if for any rows 1≤i<k≤m and any columns 1≤j<ℓ≤n, we always have
A[i,j]+A[k,ℓ]≤A[i,ℓ]+A[k,j]

In other words, for the four entries at rows i,k and columns j,ℓ, the sum of the upper-left and lower-right elements is always at most the sum of the lower-left and upper-right elements. Consider the following two arrays
