N2 - We consider the two-dimensional range maximum query (2D-RMQ) problem: given an array A of ordered values, to pre-process it so that we can find the position of the largest element in a (user-specified) range of rows and range of columns. We focus on determining the effective entropy of 2D-RMQ, i.e., how many bits are needed to encode A so that 2D-RMQ queries can be answered without access to A. We give tight upper and lower bounds on the expected effective entropy for the case when A contains independent identically-distributed random values, and new upper and lower bounds for arbitrary A, for the case when A contains few rows. The latter results improve upon upper and lower bounds by Brodal et al. (ESA 2010). We also give some efficient data structures for 2D-RMQ whose space usage is close to the effective entropy.
