index_w: Woeginger's w-index

Description

Given a sequence of $n$ non-negative numbers $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$, where $x_i \ge x_j \ge 0$ for $i \le j$, the $w$-index (Woeginger, 2008) for $x$ is defined as $$W(x)=\max{i=1,\dots,n: x_{j}\ge i-j+1, \forall j=1,\dots,i}$$

Usage

index_w(x)

Arguments

x
a non-negative numeric vector

Value

  • a single numeric value

Details

If non-increasingly sorted vector is given, the function is O(n).

See index_rp for a natural generalization.
