(* Given a nxn matrix m of nonnegative integers, we want to pick up one element
   in each row and each column, so that their sum is maximal.

   We generalize the problem as follows: f(i,c) is the maximum for rows >= i
   and columns in set c. Thus the solution is f(0,{0,1,...,n-1}).

   f is easily defined recursively, as we have

      f(i,c) = max{j in c} m[i][j] + f(i+1, C\{j})

   As such, it would still be a brute force approach (of complexity n!)
   but we can memoize f and then the search space decreases to n*2^n.

   The following code implements such a solution. Sets of integers are
   provided in theory Bitset. Hash tables for memoization are provided
   in module HashTable (see file hash_tables.mlw for an implementation).
   Code for f is in module MaxMatrixMemo (mutually recursive functions
   maximum and memo).

  type set

  (* removal
     [remove i s] can be implemented as [s - (1 lsl i)] *)
  val function remove (x: int) (s: set): set
    ensures { forall y: int. mem y result <-> y <> x /\ mem y s }

  (* the set {0,1,...,n-1}
     [below n] can be implemented as [1 lsl n - 1] *)
  val function below (n: int): set
    requires { 0 <= n <= size }
    ensures { forall x: int. mem x result <-> 0 <= x < n }

  val function cardinal set: int

  axiom cardinal_remove:

    mem x s -> cardinal s = 1 + cardinal (remove x s)
