#K41497. Maximum Path Sum in Trees
Maximum Path Sum in Trees
Maximum Path Sum in Trees
You are given a tree with n nodes. Each node has an integer value. Your task is to find the maximum sum of values on any simple path in the tree. A simple path is a sequence of nodes in which each pair of consecutive nodes is connected by an edge, and no node is repeated.
The answer can be formulated as:
$$ \max_{u,v \in V} \left( \sum_{w \in \text{path}(u,v)} w_{value} \right) $$
Note that the path may start and end at any nodes and does not have to pass through the root.
inputFormat
The input begins with an integer T
representing the number of test cases.
For each test case, the input is given in the following format:
- An integer
n
that denotes the number of nodes in the tree. - A line containing
n
space-separated integers representing the node values. n-1
lines each containing two integersu
andv
, indicating an edge between nodesu
andv
.
The input is read from standard input (stdin).
outputFormat
For each test case, output a single line containing the maximum sum of values on any simple path in the tree.
The output is printed to standard output (stdout).
