Minimum number of leaves required to be removed from a Tree to satisfy the given condition

Given a Tree consisting of N vertices, rooted at vertex 1 and an array val[] representing the values assigned to each vertex, and an array cost[] representing the cost of each edge in the Tree, the task is to find the minimum number of leaves to be removed from the given tree such that:

For any vertex V, the sum of cost of edges to a vertex U in its subtree never exceeds val[U].

Examples :

Input: N = 9, val[] = {88, 22, 83, 14, 95, 91, 98, 53, 11}, 
cost[] = { -1, 24, -8, 67, 64, 65, 12, -80, 8 } 
 

Output:
Explanation: 
The final graph after necessary removal of leaves is as follows: 
 

Cost of edges (1, 4) = 67 > 14 (= val[4]). Therefore vertex 4 is removed. 
Cost of edges (3, 2) = 24 > 22 (= val[2]). Therefore, vertex 2 is removed. 
Cost of edges (1 –> 5 –> 7 –> 3 –> 9) = 64 + 12 + 8 – 8 = 76 > 11 (= val[9]). Therefore, vertex 9 needs to be deleted. Therefore, the entire subtree {9, 6, 8} is deleted. 
Therefore, 5 nodes are removed from the tree.

Input: N = 7, val[] = { 11, 16, 27, 21, 15, 9, 11 }, 
cost[] = { 12, 1, 7, -17, -2, 2, 17} 
edges[] = {{0, 3}, {0, 4}, {3, 6}, {4, 2}, {2, 1}, {2, 5}} 
Output: 7

Approach: 
Follow the steps below to solve the problem:  

  • If for a vertex V, there is a vertex U such that edge cost (V –> U) exceeds val[U], there is no other choice except to delete the entire subtree rooted at U or at V.This is because we are only allowed to delete the leaf vertices.
  • Since only leaf vertex can be deleted, to delete U or V, the whole subtree needs to be deleted leaf by leaf in order to reach the vertex U or V.
  • To minimize the number of leaves to be deleted, greedily select the subtree with a lesser number of vertices, i.e. V’s subtree will be deleted if the number of vertices in V‘s subtree exceeds the number of vertices in U‘s subtree, and vice versa.
  • Apply Depth First Search on the tree and for every unvisited vertex, check whether if it satisfies the required condition.
  • Increase count for every vertex satisfying the condition. For vertices not satisfying the condition, no need to traverse its subtrees as it is needed to delete entirely.
  • Finally, print N – count, after complete traversal of the tree as count contains the number of vertices that are not required to be deleted.

Below is the Implementation of the above-explained approach:

C++




// C++ Program to find the minimum
// number of leaves to be deleted
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Stores the count of safe nodes
int cnt = 0;
  
// Function to perform DFS on the Tree
// to obtain the count of vertices that
// are not required to be deleted
void dfs(int* val, int* cost,
         vector<vector<int> >& tr,
         int u, int s)
{
    // Update cost to reach
    // the vertex
    s = s + cost[u];
    if (s < 0)
        s = 0;
  
    // If the vertex does not
    // satisfy the condition
    if (s > val[u])
        return;
  
    // Otherwise
    cnt++;
  
    // Traverse its subtree
    for (int i = 0; i < tr[u].size(); i++) {
        dfs(val, cost, tr, tr[u][i], s);
    }
}
  
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int n = 9;
    int val[] = { 88, 22, 83, 14, 95,
                  91, 98, 53, 11 };
    int cost[] = { -1, 24, -8, 67, 64,
                   65, 12, -80, 8 };
  
    // Stores the Tree
    vector<vector<int> > tr(n + 1);
    tr[0].push_back(3);
    tr[0].push_back(4);
    tr[4].push_back(6);
    tr[6].push_back(2);
    tr[2].push_back(1);
    tr[2].push_back(8);
    tr[8].push_back(5);
    tr[5].push_back(7);
  
    // Perform DFS
    dfs(val, cost, tr, 0, 0);
  
    // Print the number of nodes
    // to be deleted
    cout << n - cnt;
  
    return 0;
}
