Minimize Maximum Difference Between Adjacent Elements

You are provided with a non-decreasing array and an integer K. Your task is to remove exactly K elements from this array so that the maximum difference between any two adjacent elements in the remaining array is minimized.

Example:

Input:
array = [2, 6, 7, 7, 10], K = 2
Output:
1
Explanation:

By removing elements 2 and 10, the resulting array [6, 7, 7] has differences {1, 0}. The maximum difference is 1, which is the minimum possible in this scenario.

Constraints:

  • 1 ≤ T ≤ 100
  • 3 ≤ N ≤ 1000
  • 1 ≤ A[i] ≤ 10^6
  • 0 ≤ K ≤ N - 2
  • Time Limit: 1 second
