For a undirected graph with tree characteristics, we can choose any node as the root. The result graph is then a rooted tree. Among all possible rooted trees, those with minimum height are called minimum height trees (MHTs). Given such a graph, write a function to find all the MHTs and return a list of their root labels.
Format
The graph containsnnodes which are labeled from0ton - 1. You will be given the numbernand a list of undirectededges(each edge is a pair of labels).
You can assume that no duplicate edges will appear inedges. Since all edges are undirected,[0, 1]is the same as[1, 0]and thus will not appear together inedges.
Example 1:
Givenn = 4,edges = [[1, 0], [1, 2], [1, 3]]
0
|
1
/ \
2 3
return[1]
Example 2:
Givenn = 6,edges = [[0, 3], [1, 3], [2, 3], [4, 3], [5, 4]]
0 1 2
\ | /
3
|
4
|
5
return[3, 4]
Hint: at most 2 MHTs for each graph.
Analysis:
Build graph, using Map<Integer, HashSet<Integer>> or ArrayList<Set<Integer> to represent both fine.
Like peal a onion, every round delete all leaves node util there are only 2 node(or 1 node) in the graph, then return.
Code: (Space: O(n), Time: O(n))
public class Solution {
public List<Integer> findMinHeightTrees(int n, int[][] edges) {
if (n == 1) return Collections.singletonList(0);
List<Integer> leaves = new ArrayList<>();
List<Set<Integer>> adj = new ArrayList<>(n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) adj.add(new HashSet<>());
for (int[] edge : edges) {
adj.get(edge[0]).add(edge[1]);
adj.get(edge[1]).add(edge[0]);
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
if (adj.get(i).size() == 1) leaves.add(i);
}
while (n > 2) {
n -= leaves.size();
List<Integer> newLeaves = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i : leaves) {
int t = adj.get(i).iterator().next();
adj.get(t).remove(i);
if (adj.get(t).size() == 1) newLeaves.add(t);
}
leaves = newLeaves;
}
return leaves;
}
}
