When I was doing a synchronization competition, I thought it was wrong. The status was always good or bad. This was the final result for the semi-finals.
For a tree, let's find two points on the tree, so that the distance between the other points and the two points is the smallest.
After the game, I used the O (n) algorithm. In fact, this question is not difficult. Not ..
In fact, these two points must be the two points on the tree diameter. If you can think of them, you just need to find the diameter of the tree and then split the tree into two Subtrees from the middle, then we can find the center of the subtree separately.
The proof is as follows. If we have obtained two vertices on the tree, U and V meet the conditions. So, it is certainly optimal for us to split the tree from the center of U and V, which is easy to think. Then, for the U point, it must be in the diameter of the original tree, because if the U point is not in the diameter, the U point must be in a branch of the subtree, in addition, the distance to the tree diameter endpoint is less than or equal to the distance from u to the branch endpoint. In this way, the branch can replace an endpoint on the original diameter to become the diameter, and the U is in the diameter, conflicts with assumptions. So u must be in the diameter, and V must be in the diameter. Then we came up with =
