Statement

You are given a tree with N vertices, numbered from 1 to N (a tree is an undirected connected graph in which there are no cycles). You are asked to partition it into edge-disjoint simple paths such that the length of the shortest one is maximized. In this task, the length of a path is defined as the number of edges it has.
