#P1340. The Longest Detour Problem
The Longest Detour Problem
Description
Let G be a weighted graph, i.e., every edge in G is associated with a nonnegative integer weight. The length of a path is the sum of edge weights in the path. A shortest path between vertices r and s in G, denoted by P
G(r, s), is defined as a path with the shortest length from r to s. The distance between vertices r and s, denoted by d
G(r, s), is the length of the shortest path P
G(r, s). For two vertices in a connected graph, there exists at least one shortest path between them. Let e = (u, v) be an edge in P
G(r, s) with v closer to s than u (v may be s). Let G - e denote the subgraph obtained by removing edge e from G. A detour from u is the shortest path from u to s in G - e, or P
G-e(u, s). Edge e is a detour -critical edge in P
G(r, s) if the removal of e results in the maximum distance increment from u to s. In other words, if e is a detour -critical edge in P
G(r, s), then d
G-e(u, s) - d
G(u, s) is maximum among all edges in P
G(r, s). The longest detour problem is to find the maximum distance increment of a shortest path.

For example, see Figure 4. PG
(4, 1) =< 4, 3, 2, 1 > is the shortest path from vertex 4 to vertex 1. Path < 4, 6, 1 > is the detour from vertex 4 to vertex 1 if edge (4, 3) is removed. Path < 3, 5, 1 > is the detour from vertex 3 to vertex 1 if edge (3, 2) is removed. Path < 2, 5, 1 > is the detour from vertex 2 to vertex 1 if edge (2, 1) is removed. The detour -critical edge in P
G(4, 1) is not edge (4, 3) or edge (2, 1) but edge (3, 2) since d
G-(3,2)(3, 1) - d
G(3, 1) = 600 - 200 = 400 is greater than d
G-(4,3)(4, 1) - d
G(4, 1) = 500 - 300 = 200 and d
G-(2,1)(2, 1) - d
G(2, 1) = 200 - 100 = 100.
The algorithm for finding detours, as well as determining the detour-critical edges, is important from the viewpoint of network management. Due to a sudden edge failurefrom some vertex, the message must be retransmitted through a detour from the vertex adjacent to the faulty edge.
Suppose that we have several networks. Each network is connected and contains at most n vertices, where 3 <= n <= 100. Assume now that you are hired to serve as a
network administrator and have to determine the maximum distance increment caused by a detour-critical edge of a given shortest path for each network.
Input
The input consists of several test cases. The first line contains an integer indicating the number of test cases. Each test case starts with a positive integer n, where 3 <= n <= 100. The following n lines represent the adjacency matrix of a network. An adjacency matrix of a network G with n vertices, denoted by A(G) = [w
u,v], is an n * n matrix such that w
u,v> 0 if (u, v) is an edge of G, and w
u,v= 0 otherwise, where w
u,vin a nonnegative integer. Note that any two elements in each line of an adjacency matrix are separated by a space. The last line of each test case represents the sequence of vertices in a given shortest path in which there is also a space between two vertices. Note that the first and the last vertices denote the source and the destination vertices, respectively. For example, the adjacency matrix of the graph in Figure 4 is shown in test case 3 of the sample input.
Output
For each test case, output the maximum distance increment caused by the detour-critical edge of the given shortest path in one line.
