0924. Minimize Malware Spread

Description

You are given a network of n nodes represented as an n x n adjacency matrix graph, where the ith node is directly connected to the jth node if graph[i][j] == 1.

Some nodes initial are initially infected by malware. Whenever two nodes are directly connected, and at least one of those two nodes is infected by malware, both nodes will be infected by malware. This spread of malware will continue until no more nodes can be infected in this manner.

Suppose M(initial) is the final number of nodes infected with malware in the entire network after the spread of malware stops. We will remove exactly one node from initial.

Return the node that, if removed, would minimize M(initial). If multiple nodes could be removed to minimize M(initial), return such a node with the smallest index.

Note that if a node was removed from the initial list of infected nodes, it might still be infected later due to the malware spread.

 

Example 1:

Input: graph = [[1,1,0],[1,1,0],[0,0,1]], initial = [0,1]
Output: 0

Example 2:

Input: graph = [[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]], initial = [0,2]
Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: graph = [[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1]], initial = [1,2]
Output: 1

 

Constraints:

  • n == graph.length
  • n == graph[i].length
  • 2 <= n <= 300
  • graph[i][j] is 0 or 1.
  • graph[i][j] == graph[j][i]
  • graph[i][i] == 1
  • 1 <= initial.length <= n
  • 0 <= initial[i] <= n - 1
  • All the integers in initial are unique.

Solutions

Solution 1: Union Find

According to the problem description, if there are several nodes in the same connected component initially, there can be three situations:

  1. None of these nodes are infected.
  2. Only one node among these nodes is infected.
  3. Multiple nodes among these nodes are infected.

What we need to consider is to minimize the number of infected nodes left after removing a certain infected node.

For situation 1, there are no infected nodes, so we don't need to consider it; for situation 2, only one node is infected, so after removing this node, the other nodes in this connected component will not be infected; for situation 3, multiple nodes are infected, so after removing any infected node, the other nodes in this connected component will still be infected. Therefore, we only need to consider situation 2.

We use a union find set uf to maintain the connectivity of nodes, a variable ans to record the answer, and a variable mx to record the maximum number of infections that can be reduced currently. Initially, ans = n, mx = 0.

Then we traverse the array initial, use a hash table or an array of length n named cnt to count the number of infected nodes in each connected component.

Next, we traverse the array initial again. For each node x, we find the root node root of its connected component. If there is only one infected node in this connected component, i.e., cnt[root] = 1, we update the answer. The update condition is that the number of nodes sz in this connected component is greater than mx or sz equals mx and the value of x is less than ans.

Finally, if ans has not been updated, it means that there are multiple infected nodes in all connected components, so we return the minimum value in initial, otherwise, we return ans.

The time complexity is O(n2 × Î±(n)), and the space complexity is O(n). Where n is the number of nodes, and α(n) is the inverse of the Ackermann function.
