Problem: Maximal Square

Medium
30 min
Explore how to solve the maximal square problem by applying dynamic programming to identify the largest square of 1s in a binary matrix. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints, build a clear problem-solving approach, and implement efficient solutions in a coding environment.

Statement

Given a m×nm × n binary matrix, filled with 0s0's and 1s1's. Your task is to find the largest possible square composed entirely of cells with value 11, and return the area of that square.

Constraints:

  • m==m == matrix.length

  • n==n == matrix[i].length

  • 1<=m,n<=3001 <=m, n <= 300

  • matrix[i][j] is 00 or 11.
