1284. Minimum Number of Flips to Convert Binary Matrix to Zero Matrix (Hard)

Given a m x n binary matrix mat. In one step, you can choose one cell and flip it and all the four neighbors of it if they exist (Flip is changing 1 to 0 and 0 to 1). A pair of cells are called neighbors if they share one edge.

Return the minimum number of steps required to convert mat to a zero matrix or -1 if you cannot.

A binary matrix is a matrix with all cells equal to 0 or 1 only.

A zero matrix is a matrix with all cells equal to 0.

 

Example 1:

Input: mat = [[0,0],[0,1]]
Output: 3
Explanation: One possible solution is to flip (1, 0) then (0, 1) and finally (1, 1) as shown.

Example 2:

Input: mat = [[0]]
Output: 0
Explanation: Given matrix is a zero matrix. We do not need to change it.

Example 3:

Input: mat = [[1,0,0],[1,0,0]]
Output: -1
Explanation: Given matrix cannot be a zero matrix.

 

Constraints:

• m == mat.length
• n == mat[i].length
• 1 <= m, n <= 3
• mat[i][j] is either 0 or 1.

Hints

Hint 1

Flipping same index two times is like not flipping it at all. Each index can be flipped one time. Try all possible combinations. O(2^(n*m)).
