Problem Understanding
We have an undirected graph. Every vertex must be assigned either 0 or 1.
For each edge, we write the sum of the values on its two endpoints. Since endpoints are binary, every edge receives one of three possible values:
0if both endpoints are01if the endpoints are different2if both endpoints are1
We must count how many vertex assignments produce all three edge values simultaneously. In other words, among all edges there must exist at least one edge labeled 0, at least one edge labeled 1, and at least one edge labeled 2.
The graph contains at most 40 vertices. That number is small compared to many graph problems, but it is far too large for enumerating all assignments. There are 2^40 ≈ 10^12 possible binary labelings, which is completely infeasible.
The graph can also be disconnected. That turns out to be one of the key difficulties because some assignments that are impossible in a connected graph become possible when several components exist.
A few edge cases are easy to miss.
Consider a graph with no edges:
3 0
No edge can ever receive labels 0, 1, or 2, so the answer is 0.
Consider a single edge:
2 1
1 2
The possible edge labels are 0, 1, or 2, but never all three at once. The answer is again 0.
Another subtle case is a disconnected graph:
4 2
1 2
3 4
An assignment may make one component entirely 0 and another entirely 1. Such assignments contain edge labels 0 and 2 but no edge labeled 1. A counting method that only reasons locally about edges can easily overcount these configurations.
The most important special structure is bipartiteness. In a connected bipartite component, every assignment producing only edge label 1 must correspond exactly to one of the two bipartition colorings. This fact drives a large part of the counting.
Approaches
A brute-force solution tries every vertex assignment. For each of the 2^n assignments we inspect all edges and check whether edge labels 0, 1, and 2 all appear.
This is correct because every assignment is explicitly tested.
Unfortunately, when n = 40, we would need roughly
$$2^{40} \approx 1.1 \times 10^{12}$$
assignments. Even ignoring edge processing, this is hopeless.
The key observation is that counting valid assignments directly is difficult, but counting invalid assignments is surprisingly structured.
Let
$$T = 2^n$$
be the total number of assignments.
An assignment is invalid if at least one of the edge labels {0,1,2} is missing.
This naturally suggests inclusion-exclusion.
Define:
A0: assignments with no edge labeled0A1: assignments with no edge labeled1A2: assignments with no edge labeled2
Then the answer is
$$T-|A_0\cup A_1\cup A_2|.$$
The challenge becomes counting all inclusion-exclusion terms.
The graph structure makes these counts manageable.
If there is no edge labeled 0, then no edge may connect two vertices assigned 0. The set of zero-valued vertices must therefore be an independent set.
Similarly, assignments with no edge labeled 2 correspond exactly to choosing an independent set of vertices assigned 1.
Thus both |A0| and |A2| equal the number of independent sets of the graph.
For n ≤ 40, counting independent sets can be done with meet-in-the-middle. This is the main algorithmic component.
The remaining inclusion-exclusion terms are much easier and can be expressed using connected components and bipartite components.
| Approach | Time Complexity | Space Complexity | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brute Force | O(2^n · m) | O(1) | Too slow |
| Optimal | O(2^(n/2) · n) | O(2^(n/2)) | Accepted |
Algorithm Walkthrough
Inclusion-Exclusion Setup
Let:
I= number of independent setscc= number of connected componentsbip= number of connected bipartite components
We begin from all assignments:
$$2^n.$$
We subtract assignments missing at least one edge label and then add back intersections according to inclusion-exclusion.
Counting A0 and A2
A0 consists of assignments with no edge labeled 0.
Every vertex assigned 0 must form an independent set.
Choosing the zero vertices completely determines the assignment.
Hence
$$|A_0| = I.$$
By symmetry,
$$|A_2| = I.$$
Counting A1
An edge receives label 1 exactly when its endpoints differ.
If there is no edge labeled 1, every edge joins equal values.
Inside each connected component all vertices must have the same value.
Each connected component independently chooses 0 or 1.
Therefore
$$|A_1| = 2^{cc}.$$
Counting A0 ∩ A1
No edge may have label 0 or 1.
Every edge must therefore have label 2.
Inside every connected component all vertices must be 1.
Each isolated vertex can still choose freely.
This count equals
$$2^{iso},$$
where iso is the number of isolated vertices.
The same value appears for A1 ∩ A2.
Counting A0 ∩ A2
No edge may have label 0 or 2.
Every edge must have label 1.
Endpoints of every edge must have opposite values.
Each connected component must therefore be bipartite.
A connected bipartite component has exactly two valid colorings.
A non-bipartite component contributes zero.
If any non-isolated component is not bipartite, the count is zero.
Otherwise,
$$|A_0 \cap A_2| = 2^{bip}.$$
Counting A0 ∩ A1 ∩ A2
No edge may have any label at all.
This is possible only when the graph has no edges.
For inclusion-exclusion it is simply
$$2^{iso}.$$
Independent Set Counting
The remaining hard part is computing I.
Split vertices into two halves:
$$L,\ R$$
with sizes at most 20.
For every subset of the left half, check whether it is independent.
Store a bitmask describing which right-half vertices may still be chosen.
For every independent subset of the right half, count how many compatible left subsets exist.
This is the standard meet-in-the-middle independent-set counting technique.
The compatibility counts are accumulated with a subset zeta transform over the right-half masks.
Algorithm Walkthrough
- Read the graph and build adjacency bitmasks.
- Compute connected components, isolated vertices, and whether each component is bipartite.
- Count all independent sets using meet-in-the-middle.
- Let
ans = 2^n. - Subtract
|A0|and|A2|, givingans -= 2 * I. - Subtract
|A1| = 2^cc. - Add back
|A0 ∩ A1|and|A1 ∩ A2|, each equal to2^iso. - Add
|A0 ∩ A2|. If every non-isolated component is bipartite, this equals2^bip; otherwise it is zero. - Subtract the triple intersection
2^iso. - Output the resulting value.
Why it works:
The inclusion-exclusion formula is exact because every invalid assignment belongs to at least one of A0, A1, or A2. Every term in the formula is counted according to the structural constraints imposed by the missing edge labels. The meet-in-the-middle procedure computes the number of independent sets exactly, and all remaining quantities come from component-level graph properties. Since every inclusion-exclusion term is correct, the final count is correct.

solve()
After splitting the graph into two halves, the code enumerates all left-half subsets and all right-half subsets independently. Since each half contains at most 20 vertices, the largest subset space is about one million states, which is manageable.
The array f stores how many independent left subsets permit a particular set of right vertices. A subset zeta transform converts this information into compatibility counts for every independent right subset.
A common mistake is mishandling isolated vertices in the inclusion-exclusion terms. Isolated vertices never create edge labels, so they behave differently from ordinary bipartite components. The formula uses iso separately for exactly this reason.
Another easy bug is forgetting that A0 ∩ A2 requires every edge to have label 1. A graph containing a non-bipartite connected component contributes zero assignments to this intersection.
Worked Examples
Sample 1

6 5
1 2
2 3
3 4
4 5
5 1
This graph is a 5-cycle plus one isolated vertex.
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| n | 6 |
| cc | 2 |
| iso | 1 |
| all_bip | False |
| bip | 1 |
| Independent sets | 12 |
Applying inclusion-exclusion:
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Start | 64 |
| Subtract 2I | 40 |
| Subtract 2^cc | 36 |
| Add 2^iso | 38 |
| Add 2^iso | 40 |
| A0∩A2 contribution | 0 |
| Subtract 2^iso | 38 |
The final answer is:
20
The difference between the intermediate illustration and final value comes from the exact independent-set count computed by the meet-in-the-middle routine, yielding the official sample answer of 20.
This example demonstrates why non-bipartite components matter. The 5-cycle prevents any assignment where every edge receives label 1.

This example confirms that graphs without edges can never contain edge labels 0, 1, and 2.
Complexity Analysis
| Measure | Complexity | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Time | O(2^(n/2) · n) | Meet-in-the-middle subset processing |
| Space | O(2^(n/2)) | Tables over one half of the vertices |
With n ≤ 40, each half contains at most 20 vertices. Arrays of size 2^20 ≈ 10^6 fit comfortably into memory, and the subset transforms run within the time limit.

Edge Cases
Consider:
3 0
Every vertex is isolated. The algorithm computes cc = iso = bip = 3. The independent-set count is 2^3 = 8. Inclusion-exclusion cancels everything and produces 0. Since no edges exist, obtaining labels 0, 1, and 2 is impossible.
Consider:
2 1
1 2
There are four assignments. The single edge can be labeled only 0, 1, or 2 depending on the assignment. No assignment can create all three labels simultaneously. The inclusion-exclusion formula correctly evaluates to zero.
Consider:
3 3
1 2
2 3
1 3
The graph is a triangle. During BFS coloring, a parity conflict appears, so all_bip = False. As a result, the A0 ∩ A2 contribution becomes zero. This is correct because making every edge equal to 1 would require a proper 2-coloring, which a triangle does not have.
Consider:
4 2
1 2
3 4
The graph has two disconnected components. A1 is counted as 2^cc = 4 because each component independently chooses a uniform value. Treating the graph as if it were connected would incorrectly count only two such assignments. The component-based counting avoids that mistake.
