Given a two-dimensional array of positive and negative integers, a sub-rectangle is any contiguous sub-array of size 1*1 or greater located within the whole array. The sum of a rectangle is the sum of all the elements in that rectangle. In this problem the sub-rectangle with the largest sum is referred to as the maximal sub-rectangle. 
As an example, the maximal sub-rectangle of the array: 

0 -2 -7 0 
9 2 -6 2 
-4 1 -4 1 
-1 8 0 -2 
is in the lower left corner: 

9 2 
-4 1 
-1 8 
and has a sum of 15.
