Given an undirected connected weighted graph, we define that the cost of a path is the minimum value of AN EDGE that lies in the path. For example, there is a path like this: 1->2->4, and the weight of the edge between (1,2),(2,4) are 9 and 13 consecutively, so the cost of this path is 9. Consider the cost of two vertices (u,v), in every path that connects u and v, choose the path that has the highest cost, and that cost is the cost of (u,v).
For example, we have this graph:
The cost of 1 and 4 is 10, there are 2 paths, 1->2->4 (cost 10) and 1->3->4 (cost 5) so the cost is 10
Can anyone please help me with this? What type of problem is this? Many thanks in advance!!! (Also, pardon me because of my bad English)
