Just like this, I don't know what happend.

Of course I didn't compete in 1970 XD

Give you an undirected graph with no guarantee of connectivity, Erase 2 edges to minimize the maximum connected block. You only need to output The size of the largest connected block.

How to solve it in less than O(N^2) Time Complexity ?

Sorry of my suck English :(

UPD: We have found an another O(N^2) Algorithm. We can check all edges, try to delete the edges that we are checking, and then use the Tarjan's algorithm (Tarjan, R. E. (1974). "A note on finding the bridges of a graph") for the remaining edges. Perhaps optimizing this algorithm can reduces time complexity.

Just like title, Is it better to open the memory pool or a vector to save a graph?

I personally like using Vector to save a graph...

I just learned graph theory, so I don't know how to use it. :(

memory pool:

struct Edge{
    int next;
    int to;
    int w;
};
void add(int u,int v,int w)  {  
    edge[cnt].w = w;  
    edge[cnt].to = v;  
    edge[cnt].next = head[u];  
    head[u] = cnt++;  
}  

1.introduction

As everyone knows, my friend Billy2007 is not good at The algorithm of tree, So I and he write this blog.

LCA , that is, the recent Common ancestor, refers to the root tree, find out one or two nodes u and v recent Common ancestor.

2.how to ask LCA?

For example:

Given a tree with multiple branches, the public ancestor that is closest to the specified two points is requested.

Input: The first line contains three positive integers, $$$N,M,S$$$ which respectively represent the number of nodes in the tree, the number of inquiries, and the number of root nodes. Next, $$$n-1$$$ rows each contain two positive integers $$$x, y$$$ indicating that there is a directly connected edge between $$$x$$$ node and $$$y$$$ node (the data is guaranteed to form a tree). Next, $$$M$$$ rows each contain two positive integers $$$a$$$,$$$b$$$, which means that the nearest common ancestor of $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ is inquired.

Output: The output contains $$$M$$$ rows, each containing a positive integer, which in turn is the result of each query.

Guys,how to solve it?

2.1.Brute force(XD)

Let the two points search like merge-find set :

struct node{
     int bianh;
     int fa,chd[N/1000];
     node(){
         fa=0;
         bianh=0;
         memset(chd,0,sizeof(chd));
     }
 };
 int lca(int a,int b){
     if(a==b) return a;
     return lca(nd[a].fa,nd[b].fa);
 }

But there is some problem with this algorithm.

Obviously we don't know if $$$a$$$ is the father of $$$b$$$ or $$$b$$$ is the father of $$$a$$$.

This problem can be solved by depth-first search.

But, This algorithm will waste lots of Meomry.

And even if it were possible, the DFS time complexity is $$$O(n)$$$, every time the worst time complexity is $$$O(n)$$$, the total time complexity is $$$O(nm)$$$, will definitely TLE.

2.2.Multiplication algorithm

We can use the multiplication algorithm -- an algorithm that achieves $$$O(\log n)$$$ to ask the LCA by recording the first $$$2^i$$$ generation of $$$a$$$.

Will update after 6 hours.
