Title:

Minimize the Spread of Malware - Strategy 1

Link to LeetCode:

https://leetcode.com/problems/minimize-malware-spread/

Specification:

In a network of nodes, each node i is directly connected to another node j if and only if graph[i][j] = 1.
Some nodes initial are initially infected by malware.
Whenever two nodes are directly connected and at least one of those two nodes is infected by malware, both nodes will be infected by malware.
This spread of malware will continue until no more nodes can be infected in this manner.

Suppose M(initial) is the final number of nodes infected with malware in the entire network, after the spread of malware stops.
We will remove one node from the initial list. Return the node that if removed, would minimize M(initial) .
If multiple nodes could be removed to minimize M(initial), return such a node with the smallest index.
Note that if a node was removed from the initial list of infected nodes, it may still be infected later as a result of the malware spread.

Note:
1 < graph.length = graph[0].length <= 300
0 <= graph[i][j] == graph[j][i] <= 1
graph[i][i] = 1
1 <= initial.length < graph.length
0 <= initial[i] < graph.length

Examples:

Example 1:

Input: graph = {{1,1,0},{1,1,0},{0,0,1}}, initial = {0,1}
Output: 0

Example 2:

Input: graph = {{1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}}, initial = {0,2}
Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: graph = {{1,1,1},{1,1,1},{1,1,1}}, initial = {1,2}
Output: 1

Initial Code and Signature:

public interface MalwareSpreadMinimizer {

	
	public int minMalwareSpread(int[][] graph, int[] initial);
}

Algorithm:

  1. For each given infected node in the given graph find the maximum neighborhood tree.
  2. Return the node with the largest maximum tree and the smallest index.
Find the Maximum Neighborhood Tree for a Given Node in a Given Graph is equivalent to
Breadth-First Traversal of the Graph Starting from the Given Node:
  1. Start from a given node.
  2. Visit neighbors if not visited.
  3. Repeat the visit for each neighbor.
  4. Repeat until no new neighbors can be visited.
  5. Record the count of visited nodes starting from the given node.

	 * Description:
	 * 
	 * In a network of nodes, each node i is directly connected to another node j if
	 * and only if graph[i][j] = 1. Some nodes initial are initially infected by
	 * malware. Whenever two nodes are directly connected and at least one of those
	 * two nodes is infected by malware, both nodes will be infected by malware.
	 * This spread of malware will continue until no more nodes can be infected in
	 * this manner. Suppose M(initial) is the final number of nodes infected with
	 * malware in the entire network, after the spread of malware stops. We will
	 * remove one node from the initial list. Return the node that if removed, would
	 * minimize M(initial). If multiple nodes could be removed to minimize
	 * M(initial), return such a node with the smallest index. Note that if a node
	 * was removed from the initial list of infected nodes, it may still be infected
	 * later as a result of the malware spread.
	 * 
	 * 
	 * Note: 1 < graph.length = graph[0].length <= 300 0 <= graph[i][j] ==
	 * graph[j][i] <= 1 graph[i][i] = 1 1 <= initial.length < graph.length 0 <=
	 * initial[i] < graph.length
	 * 
	 * 
	 * 
	 * 
	 * 
	 * Solution:
	 * 
	 * 1 - For each given infected node in the given graph find the maximum
	 * neighborhood tree.
	 * 
	 * 2- Return the node with the largest maximum tree and the smallest index
