Find Critical and Pseudo-Critical Edges in Minimum Spanning Tree

Given a weighted undirected connected graph with n vertices numbered from 0 to n - 1, and an array edges where edges[i] = [ai, bi, weighti] represents a bidirectional weighted edge between nodes ai and bi.

A minimum spanning tree (MST) is a subset of the graph's edges that connects all vertices without cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight.

Find all the critical and pseudo-critical edges in the given graph's MST:

  • A critical edge is an MST edge whose deletion from the graph would cause the MST weight to increase.
  • A pseudo-critical edge is an edge that can appear in some MSTs but not all.

Return a list containing two lists:

  • The indices of all critical edges.
  • The indices of all pseudo-critical edges.

Note that you can return the indices of the edges in any order.

Example 1
Inputn = 5, edges = [[0,1,1],[1,2,1],[2,3,2],[0,3,2],[0,4,3],[3,4,3],[1,4,6]]
Output[[0,1],[2,3,4,5]]
Edges 0 and 1 appear in all MSTs, while edges 2, 3, 4, and 5 appear only in some MSTs.
Example 2
Inputn = 4, edges = [[0,1,1],[1,2,1],[2,3,1],[0,3,1]]
Output[[],[0,1,2,3]]
Since all 4 edges have equal weight, choosing any 3 edges yields an MST, so all edges are pseudo-critical.

Constraints

  • 2 <= n <= 100
  • 1 <= edges.length <= min(200, n * (n - 1) / 2)
  • edges[i].length == 3
  • 0 <= ai < bi < n
  • 1 <= weighti <= 1000
  • All pairs (ai, bi) are distinct.
