$ O(n+m) $ is necessary and sufficient. Lower bound comes from potentially independent values along second diagonal -- upper bound comes from observing that we can eliminate either a row or a column in each comparison if we start from the lower left corner and walk up or left.
Having M[0..n-1][0..m-1] and a struct Point {int x, int y}, we could have the following solution:
Point* findPosition(int key) {
int row = 0, col = m-1;
while (row < n && col >= 0) {
if (M[row][col] == key) {
return new Point(row,col);
}
else if (M[row][col] > key) {
col--;
}
else row++;
}
return NULL;
}
