Use ifelse to extract information from a matrix

I am trying to extract some information from a table and I am trying to avoid any loops or use type functions.

Suppose that the vector m

 m=c(1:20)  
 m
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

      

        
        
        
      

    

and matrices g

x1=c(0,1,0,1,2,0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4,5)   
x2=c(1,0,2,1,0,3,2,1,0,4,3,2,1,0,5,4,3,2,1,0)  
u=.4*x1^.5+.6*x2^.5  
g=cbind(x1,x2,u)  
 g
      x1 x2         u  
 [1,]  0  1 0.6000000  
 [2,]  1  0 0.4000000  
 [3,]  0  2 0.8485281  
 [4,]  1  1 1.0000000    
 [5,]  2  0 0.5656854  
 [6,]  0  3 1.0392305  
 [7,]  1  2 1.2485281  
 [8,]  2  1 1.1656854  
 [9,]  3  0 0.6928203  
[10,]  0  4 1.2000000  
[11,]  1  3 1.4392305  
[12,]  2  2 1.4142136  
[13,]  3  1 1.2928203  
[14,]  4  0 0.8000000  
[15,]  0  5 1.3416408  
[16,]  1  4 1.6000000  
[17,]  2  3 1.6049159  
[18,]  3  2 1.5413485  
[19,]  4  1 1.4000000  
[20,]  5  0 0.8944272  

      

        
        
        
      

    

I want to check for each element m whether the sum g [, 1] + g [, 2] is equal to this element. For all cases where the condition is TRUE, I want my code to return the position of the one with the largest g [, 3] value. For example, when m = 5, the condition x [, 1] + x [, 2] == 5 is TRUE at 15,16,17,18,19 and 20. Of this 6, entry 17 has the highest value, so I want my code to return value 17.

So, in the end, I would expect a vector length = length (m), which will indicate for each element m, where is the maximum value of g [, 3] that satisfies the above condition. The vector should be something like this:

1,4,7,11,17,0,0,0,0,0,0...,0

      

        
        
        
      

    

where, when m = 1, string, where g [, 1] + g [, 2] == 1, is string 1, when m = 2 string, where g [, 1] + g [, 2] == 2 - line 4, etc.

I am currently using application on each line of g, but this process is repeated thousands of times and my code is very slow. To speed things up, I resorted to ifelse to do something in the vector.

I am trying to do the following:

ifelse(m>0,which(g[,3]==max(g[which(g[,1]+g[,2]==m),3])),0)

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I run this I get

 [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

      

        
        
        
      

    

and if you substitute m for 5, it returns a vector of 17s. It seems like it only uses the first element of m instead of the whole vector. Any suggestions on how I can get this job done, or an alternative that can do the same job, is more than welcome.
