For real numbers , define an $ n \times n$ matrix by . Let $ H$ be a set of $ n$-dimensional vectors whose element sum is equal to 1. For , defined by

1.
Show . When does hold?
2.
Preprocess data to form an appropriate data structure so that, when a new is given, finding the smallest among can be found efficiently. Also, analyse the complexity of the algorithm.
