Problem: Path with Maximum Probability

Medium
30 min
Explore how to determine the path with the maximum probability of success in an undirected weighted graph. Understand problem constraints, graph representation, and how to approach the solution using probability-based pathfinding. Practice coding this method to strengthen your graph algorithm skills and prepare for technical interviews.

Statement

You are given an undirected weighted graph of n nodes, represented by a 0-indexed list, edges, where edges[i] = [a, b] is an undirected edge connecting the nodes a and b. There is another list succProb, where succProb[i] is the probability of success of traversing the edge edges[i].

Additionally, you are given two nodes, start and end. Your task is to find the path with the maximum probability of success to go from start to end and return its success probability. If there is no path from start to end, return 0.

Constraints:

  • 22 \leq n 103\leq 10^3

  • 00 \leq start, end << n

  • start \neq end

  • 00 \leq a, b << n

  • a \neq b

  • 00 \leq succProb.length ==== edges.length 2×103\leq 2\times10^3

  • 00 \leq succProb[i] 1\leq 1

  • There is, at most, one edge between every two nodes.
