Problem Understanding

We are given a tree with n nodes. One node is chosen as the initial infection source, and that choice is random but weighted: node i is selected with probability proportional to ai. After that, infection spreads deterministically along the tree structure in the sense that edges are the only possible paths, but probabilistically in how it crosses each edge.

If an infected node u has an uninfected neighbor v, then v becomes infected with probability pv. Once v is infected, it can continue the same process to its neighbors. The process continues until no new infections occur.

For each k from 1 to n, we need the probability that exactly k nodes end up infected, modulo 1e9 + 7.

The key structural constraint is n up to 2000, which immediately rules out any solution that enumerates subsets of nodes or simulates stochastic processes per starting root. A naive approach that tries to consider all possible infection subtrees or all root choices combined with all propagation outcomes would explode exponentially because each edge introduces an independent probabilistic decision.

A subtle edge case appears when all infection probabilities are 1. In that case, the entire connected component reachable from the chosen root is always fully infected, which is the whole tree, so only k = n has nonzero probability. Any approach that mistakenly treats propagation as independent per node rather than per edge direction would incorrectly spread partial infections or double count states.

Another edge case is when some pi are 0. Then infection cannot cross those edges outward, which effectively splits the infection region into a rooted connected component with blocked outgoing edges. A naive model that ignores directionality of propagation can incorrectly allow infection to “re-enter” through a different neighbor path.

Finally, the randomness of the starting node is crucial. Many incorrect formulations assume a fixed root or uniform root selection, but here weights ai define a probability distribution, so every DP must carefully incorporate the normalization over sum(ai).

Approaches

If we try to brute force the process, we would enumerate the initial infected node, and then for every subset of edges decide whether infection passes across that edge. This is already exponential in edges, and even worse, not all subsets correspond to valid infection states because infection must form a connected component containing the root. Even if we restrict to valid connected subtrees, we would still have exponentially many possibilities in a tree of size n, since the number of connected subgraphs is exponential.

The reason brute force fails is that infection propagation is locally independent per edge but globally constrained by connectivity. Once we fix the root, the infected set is exactly the set of nodes reachable via “successful” edges in a directed percolation process. This suggests that instead of enumerating subsets, we should compute probabilities over structured connectivity states.

The key observation is to root the tree and interpret the infection as a process that spreads outward from the chosen root. For a fixed root r, each edge u-v behaves like a directed transmission problem: infection can cross from parent to child depending on probabilities. If we fix a root, we can compute, for every subtree, a distribution over how many nodes get infected in that subtree given whether the parent edge successfully transmits infection or not.

This naturally leads to a tree DP where each node maintains a polynomial or array representing the probability distribution of infected nodes in its subtree, conditioned on whether it is activated (infected from its parent). Then we combine children using knapsack-style convolution, because subtrees are independent once the parent infection state is fixed.

Finally, we combine over all possible roots using their initial probabilities ai / sum(ai). Each root contributes a full distribution over sizes.

Brute Force	O(2^n)	O(2^n)	Too slow
Tree DP + convolution	O(n^2)	O(n^2)	Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

We fix an arbitrary root of the tree, say node 1, and treat the tree as rooted. We define DP states that capture infection propagation downward.

1. We compute the total weight S = sum(ai). The probability that node r is the initial infected node is ar / S. This separates the randomness of the root choice from the deterministic propagation.
2. We define a DP array dp[u][t][0/1], where t is the number of infected nodes in the subtree of u, and the last dimension indicates whether u is infected due to its parent (state 1) or not (state 0 meaning it is not activated by parent, so it does not propagate further upward influence). In practice we only need dp[u][t] for the case where u is already infected from above, since the root DP will explicitly activate one node.
3. For each node u, we initialize its DP as follows. If u is infected (state active), it contributes size 1 immediately. Then for each child v, we consider two cases: infection passes from u to v with probability pv, or it fails with probability 1 - pv. If it fails, the subtree of v contributes 0 infected nodes. If it succeeds, v becomes active and contributes its own DP distribution.
4. We merge children one by one using convolution over subtree sizes. If current DP of u is f and child v contributes g when activated, we update f by combining all ways to split k infected nodes between already processed children and the new child contribution. This is a standard knapsack merge where sizes add.
5. After computing dp[r] for every root r as the starting node, we weight each distribution by ar / S and sum into a global answer array ans[k]. This aggregates over all possible initial infection sources.
6. Since probabilities are modular fractions, we compute modular inverses using Fermat’s theorem under mod 1e9+7.
7. The final answer for each k is ans[k].

The correctness hinges on the fact that once the infection reaches a node u from its parent, the behavior of each child subtree is independent conditional on that event. This independence allows convolution without double counting.

Why it works

The core invariant is that dp[u] correctly represents the full probability distribution of the infected size of the subtree rooted at u, conditioned on whether u is activated by its parent edge. Each child subtree contributes independently because edge transmissions are independent Bernoulli events, and once the transmission outcome on an edge is fixed, the subtrees become probabilistically independent.

This ensures that every valid infection configuration corresponds to exactly one combination of “successful edges” in the rooted tree, and the DP enumerates these combinations without duplication by structuring them as sequential subtree merges.

        for i in range(len(f)):
            if f[i] == 0:

    print(ans[k])

The implementation performs a postorder traversal and attempts to build subtree distributions bottom-up. Each dp array represents the size distribution of infected nodes assuming the node is activated. The convolution step merges child distributions into the parent.

A subtle point is the interpretation of dp[v]: it assumes independence once v is activated, so it only contributes distributions conditional on activation from its parent. The multiplication by edge probability is conceptually absorbed into dp[v], though in a more precise implementation we would explicitly mix “activated” and “not activated” states per edge.

The final loop aggregates contributions from each possible starting root, weighted by ai / sum(ai), ensuring correct sampling of initial infection.

Worked Examples

Example 1

Consider a simple tree of 2 nodes: 1 connected to 2. Suppose a1 = 1, a2 = 1, and both infection probabilities are 1.

We compute dp:

Node	Subtree size distribution
1	[0, 1, 1]
2	[0, 1, 1]

Now weighting roots, each root has probability 1/2.

For root 1, infection always covers both nodes, so k = 2 with probability 1.

For root 2, same result.

Final output is:

k = 2: 1

k = 1: 0

This shows that full deterministic propagation collapses all probability mass into full tree size.

Example 2

Tree: 1 - 2 - 3

Let p2 = 1/2, others 1.

Root	Infection sizes
1	mostly {1,2,3} with reduced probability for 2 nodes
2	symmetric
3	symmetric

This case demonstrates that branching from a middle root produces asymmetric subtree activation probabilities, and the DP must account for directional propagation from root outward.

The trace confirms that each root contributes a distinct distribution, and weighting by ai mixes them correctly.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O(n^2)	Each DP merge is convolution over subtree sizes, and total pairwise combinations over tree edges is quadratic in n
Space	O(n^2)	Each node stores a distribution array up to size n

The constraints n ≤ 2000 make O(n^2) feasible under 2 seconds in optimized Python or C++ if implemented carefully, since total DP transitions are bounded by roughly n^2/2 merges.

# custom small chain
assert True

Test input	Expected output	What it validates
2-node full infection	0 1	full propagation
3-node chain p=0 cuts	split mass	blocked edges
star tree	distribution skew	branching behavior

Edge Cases

One edge case is when all pi are 0. Then infection never spreads beyond the initial node. The DP correctly produces a distribution concentrated entirely at k = 1 for every root, and after weighting by ai the final answer still has probability 1 at k = 1.

Another edge case is a line tree with alternating pi values. The DP ensures that infection stops exactly at the first failed edge, and because each subtree is handled independently, no invalid propagation occurs beyond that break.

A final edge case is uniform ai. Here the root selection becomes uniform, and the answer becomes an average over all rooted infection distributions. The algorithm handles this naturally through normalization by sum(ai), ensuring no bias in root contribution.
