Solution: Find Minimum Diameter After Merging Two Trees
Explore how to determine the minimum diameter of a tree formed by merging two undirected trees. Learn to use breadth-first search to find the farthest nodes and compute each tree's diameter. Understand the formula to connect trees efficiently, balancing maximum diameter and central connections to minimize overall size.
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:
