Problem Description<\/h2>\n<p>\n    This problem is to find the largest single square in a given binary matrix and return its size.<br \/>\n    A binary matrix consists of elements that are either 0 or 1.<br \/>\n    We need to find the largest square composed of 1s, where the size is defined as the length of the square&#8217;s side.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Example<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Input: <code>matrix = [[0,1,1,1,0],[0,1,1,1,1],[0,1,1,1,1],[0,0,0,0,0]]<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Output: <code>3<\/code> (length of the side of the largest square)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Approach to Solve the Problem<\/h2>\n<p>\n    To solve this problem, we can use the Dynamic Programming technique.<br \/>\n    The basic idea is to use the information from the left, above, and diagonally above positions (minimum size) to determine<br \/>\n    the size of the square that can be formed at the current position.\n<\/p>\n<h3>2.1 State Definition<\/h3>\n<p>\n<code>dp[i][j]<\/code> is defined as the maximum size of the square that can be formed at row i and column j.<br \/>\n    That is, the value of <code>dp[i][j]<\/code> is set to 1 plus the minimum of <code>dp[i-1][j]<\/code>, <code>dp[i][j-1]<\/code>, <code>dp[i-1][j-1]<\/code> when <code>matrix[i][j]<\/code> is 1.<br \/>\n    If <code>matrix[i][j]<\/code> is 0, then <code>dp[i][j]<\/code> becomes 0.\n<\/p>\n<h3>2.2 Recurrence Relation<\/h3>\n<p>\n<code>dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-1], dp[i-1][j-1]) + 1<\/code> (if <code>matrix[i][j] == 1<\/code>)\n<\/p>\n<h3>2.3 Initial Conditions<\/h3>\n<p>\n    For the first row and the first column, if <code>matrix[i][j]<\/code> is 1, then <code>dp[i][j]<\/code> is also set to 1,<br \/>\n    and if it is 0, it is initialized to 0.\n<\/p>\n<h2>3. Algorithm Implementation<\/h2>\n<p>\n    Below is the C# code based on the above approach.\n<\/p>\n<pre><code>C#\npublic class Solution {\n    public int MaximalSquare(char[][] matrix) {\n        if (matrix.Length == 0) return 0;\n        \n        int maxSide = 0;\n        int rows = matrix.Length;\n        int cols = matrix[0].Length;\n        int[][] dp = new int[rows][];\n        \n        for (int i = 0; i &lt; rows; i++) {\n            dp[i] = new int[cols];\n        }\n\n        for (int i = 0; i &lt; rows; i++) {\n            for (int j = 0; j &lt; cols; j++) {\n                if (matrix[i][j] == '1') {\n                    if (i == 0 || j == 0) {\n                        dp[i][j] = 1; \/\/ Set directly to 1 for edge cases\n                    } else {\n                        dp[i][j] = Math.Min(Math.Min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-1]), dp[i-1][j-1]) + 1;\n                    }\n                    maxSide = Math.Max(maxSide, dp[i][j]); \/\/ Update maximum size\n                }\n            }\n        }\n        \n        return maxSide * maxSide; \/\/ Return area of the square\n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>4. Complexity Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>\n    The time complexity of this algorithm is <code>O(m * n)<\/code>, where <code>m<\/code> is the number of rows in the matrix and <code>n<\/code> is the number of columns.<br \/>\n    This complexity arises because each element is checked only once.<br \/>\n    The space complexity is also <code>O(m * n)<\/code> due to the use of a dynamic array.\n<\/p>\n<h2>5. Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>\n    This problem showcases a powerful application of dynamic programming.<br \/>\n    Through this problem of finding squares in a binary matrix, we learned how to think in terms of dynamic programming and how to design algorithms effectively.<br \/>\n    It is important to gain a thorough understanding of how to solve such problems in C#.\n<\/p>\n<h2>6.
