Understanding the maximum predicate search pattern


There are many problems where we may not be given a sorted sequence, but an ordered search space where every input may either be a valid solution or not. The maximum predicate search algorithm generalizes the binary search algorithm to find the maximum value that satisfies a predicate function. It is the natural counterpart of the minimum predicate pattern and can solve a wide variety of optimization problems.

The maximum predicate pattern is a classification of problems that can be solved using maximum predicate search algorithm.

The maximum predicate search is the technique to find the maximum value in the search space after which the predicate flips.
