2421. Number of Good Paths

Description

There is a tree (i.e. a connected, undirected graph with no cycles) consisting of n nodes numbered from 0 to n - 1 and exactly n - 1 edges.

You are given a 0-indexed integer array vals of length n where vals[i] denotes the value of the ith node. You are also given a 2D integer array edges where edges[i] = [ai, bi] denotes that there exists an undirected edge connecting nodes ai and bi.

A good path is a simple path that satisfies the following conditions:

1. The starting node and the ending node have the same value.
2. All nodes between the starting node and the ending node have values less than or equal to the starting node (i.e. the starting node's value should be the maximum value along the path).

Return the number of distinct good paths.

Note that a path and its reverse are counted as the same path. For example, 0 -> 1 is considered to be the same as 1 -> 0. A single node is also considered as a valid path.

 

Example 1:

Input: vals = [1,3,2,1,3], edges = [[0,1],[0,2],[2,3],[2,4]]
Output: 6
Explanation: There are 5 good paths consisting of a single node.
There is 1 additional good path: 1 -> 0 -> 2 -> 4.
(The reverse path 4 -> 2 -> 0 -> 1 is treated as the same as 1 -> 0 -> 2 -> 4.)
Note that 0 -> 2 -> 3 is not a good path because vals[2] > vals[0].

Example 2:

Input: vals = [1,1,2,2,3], edges = [[0,1],[1,2],[2,3],[2,4]]
Output: 7
Explanation: There are 5 good paths consisting of a single node.
There are 2 additional good paths: 0 -> 1 and 2 -> 3.

Example 3:

Input: vals = [1], edges = []
Output: 1
Explanation: The tree consists of only one node, so there is one good path.

 

Constraints:

• n == vals.length
• 1 <= n <= 3 * 104
• 0 <= vals[i] <= 105
• edges.length == n - 1
• edges[i].length == 2
• 0 <= ai, bi < n
• ai != bi
• edges represents a valid tree.

Solutions

Solution 1: Sorting + Union Find

To ensure that the starting point (or endpoint) of the path is greater than or equal to all points on the path, we can consider sorting all points from small to large first, then traverse and add them to the connected component, specifically as follows:

When traversing to point $a$, for the adjacent point $b$ that is less than or equal to $vals[a]$, if they are not in the same connected component, they can be merged. And we can use all points in the connected component where point $a$ is located with a value of $vals[a]$ as the starting point, and all points in the connected component where point $b$ is located with a value of $vals[a]$ as the endpoint. The product of the number of the two types of points is the contribution to the answer when adding point $a$.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log n)$.
