Is there a clever (meaning fast) way to compute this?
Not so much.

Because there is no limitation on what a move will "cost", pruning the choice tree early isn't helpful. Also, there's no way to prioritise choices at an intermediate stage.

All paths have to be checked.

If this was a TSP (find the minimum path length) problem, with only non-zero edges, and you had a "best min so far", you could limit choices that immediately exceed that "best min so far". But you have negative-valued edges. And if you had a "best max so far", it's not clear how to avoid traversing the whole tree.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
