Hello Codeforces!

We are going to hold The 2023 ICPC Asia Jakarta Regional Contest.

We invite you to join the online mirror contest 2023-2024 ICPC, Asia Jakarta Regional Contest (Online Mirror, Unrated, ICPC Rules, Teams Preferred) on Codeforces. It will be held on Dec/03/2023 07:35 (Moscow time) and will last for 5 hours.

The mirror will be held using ICPC-style scoring with 10 to 13 problems. The problem statements will only be available in English. We encourage participating as a team using only one computer for coding (as in ICPC contests). The mirror will be unrated.

Some useful links:

• The 2023 ICPC Asia Jakarta homepage
• The regional information in ICPC Global
• The onsite scoreboard

We hope that you will enjoy the contest. Good luck and have fun!

UPD. The mirror has started! You can also see the public scoreboard of the onsite contest (started 90 minutes earlier) from the provided link.

UPD2. The mirror has ended! You can find the editorial here. The onsite scoreboard will be unfrozen after the closing ceremony. Thank you for participating and we hope that you enjoyed the problemset!

Given the escalating situation that is happening near Sharm, I would like to know what the universities/teams for the upcoming ICPC World Finals are thinking about their trips.

Will you:

Travel as planned
Shorten your itinerary
Cancel your trip

Or are there some other measures that your university/team is preparing? Is there any penalty for not coming to this specific WF, and are there any updates from the ICPC itself?

I can't open this problem: https://codeforces.net/problemset/problem/1641/E

Upon opening, it gave this message: Can't read or parse problem descriptor

Maybe there is a problem with the Polygon?

This is not to be confused with DSU on Tree (Sack).

What can a Reachability Tree do?

Suppose you are given a weighted (connected) undirected graph of $$$N$$$ vertices and $$$M$$$ edges. Let's define an ordering of the edges, for example, the edges are ordered in the ascending/descending order of their weights. The reachability tree can help you with:

• Find the minimal/maximal weight of the edges when traversing from vertex $$$u$$$ to vertex $$$v$$$.
• Find the set of vertices that are reachable from a given vertex using the first $$$x$$$ edges, for some arbitrary $$$x$$$. You can store some information in this set of reachable vertices, such as the maximum value or the sum of values of all the reachable vertices.

Constructing a Reachability Tree

The reachability tree is a rooted tree that consists of $$$N + M$$$ nodes. The tree will have $$$N$$$ leaves which represent the original vertices of the graph, and the rest of $$$M$$$ internal nodes represent the edges of the original graph.

To build this tree, we start with the $$$N$$$ leaves, then iterate the edges of the graph one by one starting from the smallest one to the largest one. When adding an edge that connects $$$u$$$ and $$$v$$$, add a new node to the tree, then attach the current root(s) of $$$u$$$ and $$$v$$$ in the trees as the children of the newly added node. Finding these roots can be done using DSU data structure.

You can think of the reachability tree as a DSU but with no path compression, so each subtree of some internal node in the reachability tree is the set of vertices in the connected component that contains the associated edge at the point when you were adding it.

When possible, you may omit the edges that connect two vertices from the same connected component, and the reachability tree you end up with will only have $$$2N - 1$$$ nodes.

Example code

int getRoot(int u) {
  if (u == dsu[u]) return u;
  return dsu[u] = getRoot(dsu[u]);
}

void addEdge(int u, int v) {
  u = getRoot(u); v = getRoot(v);

  dsu[n] = n;
  dsu[u] = dsu[v] = n;

  adj[n].push_back(u);
  if (u != v) adj[n].push_back(v);

  ++n;
}

void build() {
  for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) dsu[i] = i;
  for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) addEdge(U[i], V[i]);
}

Solving example problems

CF1416D – Graph and Queries

Given an undirected graph with $$$N$$$ vertices and $$$M$$$ edges. Each vertex has a value written on it. You have to process two types of queries:

1. Given a vertex $$$v$$$, among all vertices currently reachable from $$$v$$$, find the vertex with the largest value, output it, then replace its value with $$$0$$$.
2. Delete a given edge $$$e$$$.

APIO 2020 – Swapping Cities

Given an undirected weighted graph of $$$N$$$ vertices and $$$M$$$ edges. Given $$$Q$$$ queries, in each query, suppose there are two people at vertices $$$X$$$ and $$$Y$$$. These two people want to switch places ($$$X$$$ moves to $$$Y$$$, and $$$Y$$$ moves to $$$X$$$), but they must not meet each other at any point of time when traversing the graph. The cost of a switch is the maximum weight traversed by both people. Compute the minimum cost, or tell that they can't switch places without meeting each other. Queries have to be processed online.

IOI 2018 – Werewolf

Given an undirected graph with $$$N$$$ vertices and $$$M$$$ edges. Vertices are numbered from $$$0$$$ through $$$N - 1$$$. You are given $$$Q$$$ queries, each represented as four integers $$$S$$$, $$$E$$$, $$$L$$$, $$$R$$$ ($$$L \le S$$$ and $$$E \le R$$$). You want to know whether it is possible to travel from $$$S$$$ to $$$E$$$ satisfying: suppose you visit the vertices $$$V_0, V_1, \dots, V_p$$$ in this order, there exists $$$q$$$ such that $$$L \le V_0, V_1, \dots, V_q$$$ and $$$V_q, V_{q + 1}, \dots, V_p \le R$$$.
