A trick for some DP-Tree problems

Revision en7, by DeadlyCritic, 2020-04-17 03:46:53

Halo,

Its 4AM here and i cant sleep so i brought you a nice trick and couple of problems to practice the trick!!

Introduction

(Our dp changes if we change root of the tree, otherwise it wont make any sens to use this trick)

Lets say we want to find $$$dp_v$$$ for every vertex in a tree, this dp must be updated using the children of vertex $$$v$$$(probable the trick still works if we can update $$$dp_v$$$ from its parent), and it works in $$$O(T)$$$ to calculate it. Also this trick will be meaning full if we want to calculate $$$val_r$$$ for every $$$r$$$, $$$val_r$$$ is equal to $$$dp_r$$$ when $$$r$$$ is the root of the tree(i hope you understand what i said). Say that the dp works in $$$O(T)$$$ time, then the trick allows you to calculate $$$val_r$$$ in $$$O(T+n)$$$.

Implementation

First calculate dp for a random root $$$rat$$$. Its obvious that if we change root $$$r$$$ to one of its adjacent vertex $$$v$$$, then only $$$dp_r$$$ and $$$dp_v$$$ can change, so that we can update $$$dp_r$$$ using its new children and also $$$dp_v$$$ can be updated the same way.

Now being able to move the root with distance one, we will run a dfs from $$$rat$$$, and move the root with dfs and store $$$val_v$$$, i hope the last part wasn't as bad as i think is, my poor English don't allow me to write it in words, so i'll -write it in codes :).

See the semi-code below :

Applications

It will be added soon including a fairly complete solution using this trick for every application, its about 5:15 AM here :).

thanks for your attention.
