#P9058. Minimum Pairwise Distance on Tree Queries
Minimum Pairwise Distance on Tree Queries
Minimum Pairwise Distance on Tree Queries
You are given an unrooted tree with n nodes and weighted edges. The nodes are numbered from 1 to n. The distance between two nodes i and j is defined as the sum of the edge weights on the unique path connecting them, i.e., $$\texttt{dist(i,j)}$$.
You will be given q queries. For each query, two integers l and r are provided, and you are required to compute the minimum distance among all pairs of nodes (i, j) such that \(l \le i < j \le r\). In other words, you need to calculate
Please note that the path between any two nodes may pass through nodes that are not in the range [l, r].
inputFormat
The input begins with a line containing two integers n and q, representing the number of nodes in the tree and the number of queries respectively.
The next n-1 lines each contain three integers u
, v
, and w
, denoting an edge between nodes u
and v
with weight w
.
This is followed by q lines, each containing two integers l
and r
describing a query.
outputFormat
For each query, output a single integer indicating the minimum distance between any two nodes i and j satisfying \(l \le i < j \le r\).
