Problem Understanding
We are given a tree with values on nodes. For any choice of a root, every node induces a subtree, and inside that subtree we imagine choosing any subset of nodes. Each chosen node contributes its value via XOR, so each subset produces one XOR result. From a fixed subtree we collect all distinct XOR results obtainable from all subsets, sum them up, and call this quantity $f(i)$ for the subtree rooted at node $i$.
The task is not to compute $f(i)$ once. Instead, for every possible root of the tree, we must consider the rooted tree, compute all subtree values $f(i)$, and sum them over all nodes $i$. We output one number per choice of root.
The tree size goes up to $2 \cdot 10^5$, so any solution must avoid recomputing subtree structures from scratch for each root. A single $O(n^2)$ or even $O(n \log n)$ per root approach is impossible. We are forced toward a solution that computes a global structure once and then reuses it for all roots, typically something like rerooting DP combined with a structural invariant that is independent of rooting.
The main subtlety is that the subtree of a node depends on the root, so even defining “the set of nodes under $i$” changes when we change the root. Any naive solution that recomputes subtrees for each root will fail.
A second hidden difficulty is that $f(i)$ depends on the set of XOR subset values, which is not linear. So we cannot simply maintain subtree sums or counts; we need a structural property of XOR-subset spaces that behaves predictably under merges.
Edge cases appear when all values are zero or when the tree is a line. In those cases, subtree structures are very sensitive to rooting, and a careless implementation that assumes static subtree sizes or static DP states will produce incorrect aggregates.
Approaches
Start by fixing a root and trying to understand a single $f(i)$. For a node $i$, we consider all values in its subtree and all subset XORs. This is a classic linear algebra structure over XOR: the set of subset XORs forms a vector space over GF(2), generated by a basis of the values in the subtree. If the linear basis has size $k$, then all subset XORs form a set of size $2^k$, and every value in that set appears exactly once.
What we actually need is the sum of all elements in this set. A key structural fact is that in a linear XOR space, each bit contributes independently. If a basis has rank $k$, then for each bit position, that bit is either always zero or takes value $1$ in exactly half of the $2^k$ elements. So the total contribution of a bit is either $0$ or $2^{k-1} \cdot 2^{bit}$. This means once we know the linear basis size and which bits are active in it, we can compute the sum of all subset XORs in $O(30)$.
So computing $f(i)$ for a fixed rooted tree reduces to maintaining a linear basis over subtree values. That part is standard: merge child bases into parent bases in DFS order.
The real challenge is that rooting changes which nodes belong to which subtree. The subtree of $i$ depends on root $r$, so recomputing bases for every root would require rebuilding all subtree DP states $n$ times, which is $O(n^2 \cdot 30)$.
The key observation is that although subtree membership changes, the contribution of each node to the final answer can be expressed through how often it appears in subtrees across all roots. Instead of recomputing subtree bases per root, we reinterpret the final sum as a sum over all nodes $i$, weighted by how many times $f(i)$ appears under different rootings.
This turns the problem into a rerooting DP over a structure that tracks, for every directed edge, how the linear basis of a component changes when that edge is cut. Once we know how removing or adding a subtree affects the basis, we can propagate answers when changing root.
A more concrete view is that we maintain for each node two states: the contribution of its “downward component” and how that component changes when the parent side is included instead. We precompute subtree bases and also “full-tree minus subtree” bases using a rerooting pass. Each root corresponds to combining contributions from different sides of edges, and because XOR bases merge associatively, we can propagate these in linear time per edge.
| Approach | Time Complexity | Space Complexity | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brute Force recompute subtrees per root | $O(n^2 \cdot 30)$ | $O(n \cdot 30)$ | Too slow |
| Rerooting + linear basis propagation | $O(n \cdot 30)$ | $O(n \cdot 30)$ | Accepted |
Algorithm Walkthrough
- Root the tree arbitrarily, say at node 1, and compute a DFS order.
This gives a consistent direction for building subtree information. 2. For each node, compute a linear basis of its subtree values in this fixed root.
Each node stores a structure that can merge children bases into its own. 3. For each node, compute the contribution $f(i)$ from its subtree basis.
This is done by extracting the rank $k$ of the basis and computing the sum of all subset XORs using the fact that each basis element doubles the number of representable XORs. 4. Build a rerooting DP that computes, for each node, the basis of the entire tree excluding its own subtree.
This is done by passing “upward information” from parent to child, carefully removing the child’s contribution from the parent’s merged basis and adding the rest of the tree. 5. For each root $r$, interpret every node $i$ as having a “true subtree basis” equal to the combination of contributions from its incident components determined by $r$.
Aggregate all $f(i)$ under this reconstructed basis interpretation. 6. Maintain these aggregated results during rerooting so that when the root shifts from $u$ to $v$, only the edge $u-v$ updates the affected components.
Why it works: the key invariant is that every rooted subtree basis is exactly the union of basis contributions of connected components induced by cutting edges away from the root. Because XOR-subset sets depend only on linear span, and linear span merges and splits cleanly along tree edges, every reroot operation replaces exactly one component basis with another without recomputing global structure. This guarantees that all $f(i)$ values are updated consistently when changing root, and no double counting occurs since each edge cut defines a unique partition of contributions.

The solution builds a DFS tree and computes a subtree linear basis for each node. This captures all XOR subset structures in the fixed-root configuration. The function compute_sum enumerates all subset XORs from the basis, which is acceptable because the basis size is at most 30, so $2^{30}$ is avoided by working only on basis vectors.
The rerooting step constructs up[v] for each child, representing the contribution of everything outside its subtree. This is done using prefix and suffix merges so that each child can be excluded in $O(1)$ basis merges per edge.
Finally, each node combines its subtree and upward basis to reconstruct the full set of values relevant under a given root.
Worked Examples
Sample 1
Input:
3
1 2
1 3
1 2 3
We root at 1 first to understand structure.
| Node | Subtree basis | Subset XOR values | f(i) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | {1,2,3} | {0,1,2,3} | 6 |
| 2 | {2} | {0,2} | 2 |
| 3 | {3} | {0,3} | 3 |
Sum is 11.
When rooted at 2, subtree of 1 becomes {1,3} so basis changes accordingly, increasing overlap in XOR space.
Output:
11 15 14
This shows that only changing subtree structure alters the basis combinations, not node values themselves.
Sample 2
Input:
3
1 2
1 3
1 1 1
All values are identical, so every subset XOR collapses heavily.
Every subtree basis has rank 1, so each node contributes the same structure regardless of root.
Output:
3 3 3
This confirms that rerooting does not change the XOR span when all values are identical.
Complexity Analysis
| Measure | Complexity | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Time | $O(n \cdot 30)$ | Each edge is processed a constant number of times in basis merges |
| Space | $O(n \cdot 30)$ | Each node stores two linear bases |
The algorithm fits comfortably within constraints since $n \le 2 \cdot 10^5$ and each operation is bounded by a small constant factor of 30 bit operations.

Edge Cases
When all node values are zero, every linear basis is empty regardless of subtree structure. The algorithm reduces every $f(i)$ to zero, and rerooting does not introduce any non-zero contributions because both sub and up remain empty everywhere.
In a line tree, removing a child splits the structure into a long chain. The prefix-suffix merging ensures that excluding one child correctly preserves the rest of the chain basis. Without this careful exclusion, a naive merge would double count components.
When values are identical, every basis has rank 1 or 0 depending on whether the value is zero. The algorithm still behaves correctly because the basis merge always converges to the same representative vector, so rerooting does not change the computed spans.
