3108. Minimum Cost Walk in Weighted Graph

Description

There is an undirected weighted graph with n vertices labeled from 0 to n - 1.

You are given the integer n and an array edges, where edges[i] = [ui, vi, wi] indicates that there is an edge between vertices ui and vi with a weight of wi.

A walk on a graph is a sequence of vertices and edges. The walk starts and ends with a vertex, and each edge connects the vertex that comes before it and the vertex that comes after it. It's important to note that a walk may visit the same edge or vertex more than once.

The cost of a walk starting at node u and ending at node v is defined as the bitwise AND of the weights of the edges traversed during the walk. In other words, if the sequence of edge weights encountered during the walk is w0, w1, w2, ..., wk, then the cost is calculated as w0 & w1 & w2 & ... & wk, where & denotes the bitwise AND operator.

You are also given a 2D array query, where query[i] = [si, ti]. For each query, you need to find the minimum cost of the walk starting at vertex si and ending at vertex ti. If there exists no such walk, the answer is -1.

Return the array answer, where answer[i] denotes the minimum cost of a walk for query i.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 5, edges = [[0,1,7],[1,3,7],[1,2,1]], query = [[0,3],[3,4]]

Output: [1,-1]

Explanation:

To achieve the cost of 1 in the first query, we need to move on the following edges: 0->1 (weight 7), 1->2 (weight 1), 2->1 (weight 1), 1->3 (weight 7).

In the second query, there is no walk between nodes 3 and 4, so the answer is -1.

Example 2:

Input: n = 3, edges = [[0,2,7],[0,1,15],[1,2,6],[1,2,1]], query = [[1,2]]

Output: [0]

Explanation:

To achieve the cost of 0 in the first query, we need to move on the following edges: 1->2 (weight 1), 2->1 (weight 6), 1->2 (weight 1).

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= n <= 105
  • 0 <= edges.length <= 105
  • edges[i].length == 3
  • 0 <= ui, vi <= n - 1
  • ui != vi
  • 0 <= wi <= 105
  • 1 <= query.length <= 105
  • query[i].length == 2
  • 0 <= si, ti <= n - 1
  • si != ti

Solutions

Solution 1: Greedy + Union Find

We note that a positive integer performing bitwise AND operation with several other positive integers will only get smaller. Therefore, to minimize the cost of the journey, we should perform bitwise AND operation on the weights of all edges in the same connected component, and then perform the query.

So, the problem is transformed into how to find all the edges in the same connected component and perform bitwise AND operation.

We can use a union-find set to maintain the connected components.

Specifically, we traverse each edge $(u, v, w)$ and merge $u$ and $v$. Then, we traverse each edge $(u, v, w)$ again, find the root node $root$ of the connected component where $u$ and $v$ are located, and use an array $g$ to record the result of the bitwise AND operation of the weights of all edges in each connected component.

Finally, for each query $(s, t)$, we first judge whether $s$ equals $t$. If they are equal, the answer is $0$. Otherwise, we judge whether $s$ and $t$ are in the same connected component. If they are in the same connected component, the answer is the $g$ value of the root node of the connected component of this query. Otherwise, the answer is $-1$.

The time complexity is $O((n + m + q) \times \alpha(n))$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$, $m$, and $q$ represent the number of nodes, edges, and queries, respectively, and $\alpha(n)$ represents the inverse function of the Ackermann function.
