766. Toeplitz Matrix
Description
Given an m x n
matrix
, return true
if the matrix is Toeplitz. Otherwise, return false
.
A matrix is Toeplitz if every diagonal from top-left to bottom-right has the same elements.
Example 1:

Input: matrix = [[1,2,3,4],[5,1,2,3],[9,5,1,2]] Output: true Explanation: In the above grid, the diagonals are: "[9]", "[5, 5]", "[1, 1, 1]", "[2, 2, 2]", "[3, 3]", "[4]". In each diagonal all elements are the same, so the answer is True.
Example 2:

Input: matrix = [[1,2],[2,2]] Output: false Explanation: The diagonal "[1, 2]" has different elements.
Constraints:
m == matrix.length
n == matrix[i].length
1 <= m, n <= 20
0 <= matrix[i][j] <= 99
Follow up:
- What if the
matrix
is stored on disk, and the memory is limited such that you can only load at most one row of the matrix into the memory at once? - What if the
matrix
is so large that you can only load up a partial row into the memory at once?
Solutions
Solution 1: Single Traversal
According to the problem description, the characteristic of a Toeplitz matrix is that each element is equal to the element in its upper left corner. Therefore, we only need to iterate through each element in the matrix and check if it is equal to the element in its upper left corner.
The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, where $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the matrix, respectively. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
