Solution: Find Minimum Diameter After Merging Two Trees
Explore how to efficiently calculate the minimum diameter after merging two undirected trees by applying breadth-first search twice to find diameters and using a formula that connects their centers. Understand how to construct adjacency lists, perform BFS to identify farthest nodes, and compute the minimal combined tree diameter in linear time and space complexity.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given two undirected trees: one with edges1 of length edges2 of length edges1[i] = [aᵢ, bᵢ] represents an edge between nodes edges2[i] = [uᵢ, vᵢ] represents an edge in the second tree.
Your task is to connect any node from the first tree to any one node from the second tree using a single edge. Return the smallest possible diameter of the resulting combined tree.
Note: The diameter of a tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in it.
Constraints:
