Optimized Binary Lifting Technique!!

Правка en2, от EyadBT, 2023-10-14 00:27:46

Hello Codeforces!

Me and my friend JaberSH1 are glad to introduce this technique to the CP community since maybe only a few people know about it, personally me and Jaber worked on it and we haven't heard/read about such a thing before.

What can it do?

$$$K$$$-th ancestor & $$$LCA$$$ queries in $$$O(N*log(log(N))/2)$$$ preprocessing, and $$$O(log(log(N))$$$ per query.

Prerequisites:

  • Tree basics
  • Heavy-Light Decomposition
  • Binary Lifting

Ok let's get into it,

Теги tree, binary lifting, lowest common ancestor, hld, lca
