Given two BST. Find maximum common BST. What Will Be Time Complexity can we do it in O(N) (TC for Checking Largest Commom BST) . What Will be Time Complexity if It will be the Binary Tree . Write an Efficient Algorithm

  1. Let, r1 = current node of 1st tree r2 = current node of 2nd tree
    There are some of the cases I think we need to consider:

    Case 1 : r1.data < r2.data
    2 subproblems to solve:
    first, check r1 and r2.left
    second, check r1.right and r2

    Case 2 : r1.data > r2.data
    2 subproblems to solve:
    - first, check r1.left and r2
    - second, check r1 and r2.right

    Case 3 : r1.data == r2.data
    Again, 2 cases to consider here:
    (a) current node is part of largest common BST
    compute common subtree size rooted at r1 and r2
    (b)current node is NOT part of largest common BST
    2 subproblems to solve:
    first, solve r1.left and r2.left
    second, solve r1.right and r2.right

  2. @anon yes i had similer approach in mind but due to lake of time wasen't able to put solution will look at code & then post itf will cover all the test cases


    Shashank :)

  3. Without explanation why u post these type of questions? There lot of sites to do that,what is the use from your site? Here i see lot of questions are time inefficient and most of them are not solved

  4. @Anon...Is its ur frustration or comment that u didn't get working code for this question ...but if u look at 450 problems out of 500+ u will each has efficient & working solution :) never mind , i will post soln of this as well ..but let me know how efficient u can think for this question ??
