Problem Understanding

We are given a directed graph of n locations and m one-way roads. Traveling along any road costs exactly one minute. The traveler always starts at node 1, and we are asked a slightly different question than the usual single-source shortest path: for every node i, we want the minimum time needed to reach i from node 1, but the graph is augmented with extra teleport edges.

Each node has an integer value ai. Besides the given directed edges, there is an additional rule: from node i you can instantly “teleport” to node j in one minute if the bitwise AND of ai and aj equals aj. In other words, every bit that is set in aj must also be set in ai, so aj is a bitwise subset of ai.

So the graph is implicitly much larger than m edges, because each node potentially connects to many other nodes depending on bit relations. The task is to compute shortest distances from node 1 to all nodes in this expanded graph.

The constraints are large: up to 200,000 nodes and 300,000 edges, with values up to 2^20. Any solution that explicitly builds all teleport edges would create a worst-case quadratic number of edges and fail immediately. Even multi-source BFS over implicit transitions must be carefully structured to avoid repeated scanning of all nodes.

A naive Dijkstra over explicit edges is fine for the m roads, but the teleport condition creates the real difficulty: checking all possible j for each i would lead to about O(n^2) behavior in dense bit configurations.

A subtle edge case appears when all ai are identical, especially all zeros. In that case every node can teleport to every other node, meaning distances collapse to at most 1 step from node 1. A naive shortest-path implementation that ignores teleport edges entirely would incorrectly return unreachable nodes even when they are fully connected through bit structure.

Another edge case is when node 1 has very few set bits. Then it can only reach nodes whose bitmask is a subset of a1, which might be extremely restrictive. A solution that assumes reachability through roads alone will miss many teleport-only paths.

Approaches

The brute-force idea is straightforward: treat teleport edges as explicit edges. For every pair (i, j), check whether ai & aj = aj, and if so add an edge i → j. Then run BFS or Dijkstra from node 1. This is correct because all edges have equal weight. The problem is the cost of constructing edges: checking all pairs requires O(n^2) bit operations, which for 2 × 10^5 is completely infeasible, exceeding 10^10 comparisons.

The key observation is that teleport edges are determined purely by bit inclusion. For a fixed node i, we need all nodes j such that aj is a submask of ai. This is a classic “subset of bitmask” relation, and it suggests reversing the perspective: instead of expanding edges from each i, we organize nodes by masks and use bit DP over subsets.

However, the number of distinct masks is large (2^20), but manageable if we use SOS-DP style propagation. The trick is to compute, for every bitmask, the best distance to any node whose value equals that mask, and then propagate these values across subset relations efficiently.

We combine this with shortest path over the original graph. First we compute distances using a standard BFS/Dijkstra over m edges, but during the process we also need fast transitions along subset relations. Instead of explicitly adding teleport edges, we maintain a structure where, once a mask is reached, it can relax all subset masks in O(20 · 2^20) total across all states using SOS DP propagation.

So the solution becomes a hybrid: shortest path over explicit edges, and bitmask propagation to simulate teleportation closures.

Approach Time Complexity Space Complexity Verdict
Brute Force (all pairs edges) O(n^2 + m) O(n^2) Too slow
Optimal (graph + SOS DP propagation) O((n + m) log n + 20·2^20) O(n + 2^20) Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

We want shortest distances where transitions come from two sources: given edges and bit-subset teleportation.

  1. Run a standard shortest path (BFS since weights are 1) from node 1 using only the m explicit edges. This gives initial distances d[i] that account for road travel only. This forms a baseline that already captures many paths without teleportation.
  2. Create an array best[mask], where mask is a 20-bit value, initialized to +inf. For each node i, update best[ai] = min(best[ai], d[i]). This compresses all nodes into bitmask space while keeping their best known distance.
  3. Now we propagate information across subset relationships: if we know a good distance for mask x, then all masks y such that y is a submask of x can be improved, because a node with mask x can teleport to any node whose mask is a subset of x.
  4. Perform SOS DP over bitmasks. For each bit k from 0 to 19, and for each mask x, if bit k is set in x, we try to relax best[x ^ (1 << k)] using best[x]. This propagates information from larger masks to smaller ones.
  5. After DP finishes, best[mask] represents the minimum distance to reach any node whose value is exactly that mask, considering both road movement and teleport chains.
  6. Assign answer for node i as best[ai], since all nodes with the same value share the same teleport structure.

A key subtlety is that teleportation itself can be chained. Once you reach a node with mask x, you can go to any submask, and from there continue similarly. The SOS DP closure captures this entire reachability lattice in one pass.

Why it works

The algorithm compresses nodes into a bitmask lattice where edges only go from supersets to subsets. Every teleport move strictly reduces the set of possible 1-bits or keeps them consistent with subset structure. The SOS DP ensures that any reachable superset mask propagates its best distance to all reachable subsets, which matches exactly the teleport rule. Since all teleport edges have equal weight, shortest paths respect this monotone propagation without needing explicit graph traversal over 2^20 edges.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline
from collections import deque

INF = 10**18

def solve():
    n, m = map(int, input().split())
    a = list(map(int, input().split()))

    g = [[] for _ in range(n)]
    for _ in range(m):
        u, v = map(int, input().split())
        u -= 1
        v -= 1
        g[u].append(v)

    # BFS on original graph
    dist = [INF] * n
    dist[0] = 0
    q = deque([0])

    while q:
        u = q.popleft()
        for v in g[u]:
            if dist[v] > dist[u] + 1:
                dist[v] = dist[u] + 1
                q.append(v)

    MAXB = 20
    N = 1 << MAXB
    best = [INF] * N

    for i in range(n):
        best[a[i]] = min(best[a[i]], dist[i])

    # SOS DP: propagate from supersets to subsets
    for b in range(MAXB):
        for mask in range(N):
            if mask & (1 << b):
                if best[mask] < best[mask ^ (1 << b)]:
                    best[mask ^ (1 << b)] = best[mask]

    res = []
    for i in range(n):
        res.append(str(best[a[i]]) if best[a[i]] < INF else "-1")

    print("\n".join(res))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The BFS phase computes shortest distances using only real roads, which are the only explicit edges. The array compression step maps node distances into bitmask space so teleport behavior can be handled independently of graph structure.

The SOS DP loop is the core transformation. It repeatedly pushes values from a mask to all masks obtained by removing one bit, which matches the rule that a node can reach any node whose bit representation is contained within it.

Finally, each node reads off its answer from best[ai], since all teleport behavior is already encoded in that DP closure.

Worked Examples

Consider a small graph where nodes have values that allow subset teleportation. Suppose node 1 can reach node 2 by road, and node 2 has a mask that enables teleporting to node 3.

Step Node dist best update
init 1 0 best[a1]=0
BFS 2 1 best[a2]=1
BFS 3 INF unchanged

After BFS, only road reachability is known.

After SOS DP, if a2 is a superset of a3, then best[a3] becomes 1.

This shows how teleportation is applied after shortest path computation rather than interleaved.

A second example is when all nodes share identical mask. Then best[mask] becomes the minimum BFS distance among all nodes with that mask, and DP does nothing further because no subset relation changes anything. This confirms the algorithm degenerates correctly when teleportation adds no new structure.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time O(n + m + 20·2^20) BFS over m edges plus SOS DP over bitmasks
Space O(n + 2^20) adjacency list and mask DP array

The constraints allow about 10^8 lightweight operations, and 20·2^20 is roughly 20 million updates, which fits comfortably within limits.

Edge Cases

When all nodes have the same mask, every node becomes mutually reachable via teleport rules. In that situation BFS might still produce multiple distances depending on the road structure, but the DP step collapses everything to the minimum among them, which matches the existence of teleport shortcuts.

When node 1 has mask 0, no teleport edges exist from it because 0 has no supersets except itself. The algorithm correctly falls back to BFS-only distances since best[0] only captures nodes with zero value.

When a node is unreachable in BFS but reachable via teleport chains after reaching a superset mask, it is still captured because best is initialized from BFS results and then expanded downward through subset propagation, allowing indirect reachability to be recovered through mask structure.
