Centroid Decomposition related problems
By Tobby_And_Friends, history, 8 years ago, In English

I just learned centroid decomposition today. Please refer me some problems on Centroid Decomposition. I read the topic from this link: https://tanujkhattar.wordpress.com/2016/01/10/centroid-decomposition-of-a-tree/ so please provide me some additional problems to begin with.

766E. Although the official solution is using DP but we can also solve it using Centroid decomposition with O(nlog2n) complexity.

    How did you use centroid decomposition on 161D?

      Lets fix centroid C of current tree, so we can find all pathes with length k thats passes throw C. How to do it: fix the order of subtrees of C and process it one by one, we should store map with pairs <dist from C, count>, and when we process subtree for each vertex with dist X from C we should add map[K-X] to answer, after subtree will be processed, we should update the map. Hope it helps.
