Graph Problem – Minimum Score of a Path Between Two Cities (similar)
Given an undirected weighted graph, find the minimum possible score of a path between two specified cities. The score of a path is defined as the minimum edge weight in that path. This is the same problem as LeetCode 2492 – Minimum Score of a Path Between Two Cities.
DP – Minimum Price to Take Courses (similar to Minimum Cost for Tickets)
Given a list of days on which courses need to be taken, determine the minimum total cost to cover all days using ticket options of different durations. This is similar to LeetCode 983 – Minimum Cost for Tickets, where a DP solution evaluates the cost of buying 1‑day, 7‑day, or 30‑day passes.
