DIFFICULTY:

Easy

PREREQUISITES:

Tree Flattening, prefix sums, DFS and similar

PROBLEM:

Given a tree consisting of N nodes. Each node is given some value. We have to delete one node from the tree such that the sum of GCD of node values in all connected components formed after deleting that node is as maximum as possible.

EXPLANATION:

  • One way is to delete each node one by one and check answer for each node and select maximum answer from them. But doing this lamely obviously will give TLE. So we will use tree flattening and prefix sum technique to do above task more optimally.
  • First root the tree let at node 1 then flatten the tree by using tree flattening technique and along with it also store in and out time for each node and also store the GCD of each subtree and parent of each node by running a simple DFS from node 1. Now lastly precompute the GCD from both forward and backward side of the array obtained from tree flattening . Now we can easily calculate for each node the possible sum of GCD of node values in each connected component after removing that node, and can output maximum of them.

How to find answer for a particular node x

  • To find answer for a node x, first let’s see what happens by deleting the node x. If we delete node x, then the total number of connected components formed will be Number of children of node x +1.
  • Also for each child of node x we already have calculated the GCD of node values of all the node in subtree of it’s child as earlier we have precomputed GCD of each subtree. Now the part left is the part formed after removing the whole subtree of node x from the tree.
  • To calculate GCD of all nodes values in this part we will make use of in and out time of node x and of prefix and suffix arrays of GCD’s we have earlier calculated.
  • So this part is equal to the GCD(forward[in[x]-1],backward[out[x]+1]), the array forward[i] (prefix array) stores GCD of all the nodes from index 1 to i of the array obtained from tree flattening and backward[j] (suffix array) stores GCD of all the nodes from last index of array to index j of the array obtained from tree flattening.
  • The answer for node x is equal to the sum all above parts we have calculated above.

Hey, I used tree flattening and a sparse table to get gcd of a range. My code is getting SIGSEGV . Can I get to know a testcase ?

Thank you

Easy? Really?
How do you guys rate problems? I don’t think this was an easy problem.

I used Segment tree on the euler tour of the tree for this question

I have done the same thing but i why i am getting wa Need help
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/53439929

i just forgot to initailze ans variable to 0 for each test case.Too much pain :cry: and tried to debug it straight two hours in contest

WHY Rerooting the tree does’nt work. First i have calculated the answer for Node 1 and then did another DFS traversal and calculated the answer for each node by rerooting.
Here is my code

Rerooting does work, I have used it too and got AC. You can check out my submission.
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/53441784

Here subgin (i) means the gcd of all nodes in subtree of node i (including node i) and subgout (i) means gcd of all nodes except in the subtree of i. (Excluding node i).

Rerooting works
Your code fails in the following test case:

1
6
2 1
6 5
4 1
3 6
2 5
7 62 54 49 84 34 

Expected answer: 55
Your answer: 56

did the same but got TLE. WBU?

thanks for the help brother.

thank you brother for this test case. Because of this, I am able to debug my older code.

I am not sure why I am getting Runtime Error ( SIGABRT) . I think I am closing following the editorial Solution as well . Can someone point out the mistake please . Here is a link to my Solution.

The problem is much easier when the tree is flattered.

Someone should tell them that difficulty should not be wrt experts

What i thought of was of removing parent of some leaf node… greedily i choose to delete that parent that has maximum sum of values of its children . Can anybody help me in figuring out where it might go wrong

My solution is exactly same as the editorial solution yet it is giving wrong answer. If someone can show me what I am doing wrong . Thanks in advance.

Well written and easy to understand
