Algorithm ideas for a problem
There are n cities in a circle and distance between every adjacent pair of cities was given. We were asked to determine a pair of cities such that the minimum distance to travel between them is maximum.
For example,the input may be: 8 12 16 10 3 13.
We can definitely solve this in O(n2) complexity.Can we improve the complexity any further?how?
