You can use several words in query to find by all of them at the same time. In addition, if you are lucky search understands word forms and some synonyms. It supports search by title and author. Examples:

  • 305 — search for 305, most probably it will find blogs about the Round 305
  • andrew stankevich contests — search for words "andrew", "stankevich" and "contests" at the same time
  • user:mikemirzayanov title:testlib — search containing "testlib" in title by MikeMirzayanov
  • "vk cup" — use quotes to find phrase as is
  • title:educational — search in title

A problem collection of ODE and differential technique ##A problem collection of ODE and differential technique *This problem might be well-known in some countries, but how do other countries learn about such problems if nobody poses them.* For those who are interested in well-known problems in China. Thank [user:Elegia,2020-04-23] and [user:djq_cpp,2020-04-23] for developing this technique. Thank [user:tEMMIE.w.,2020-04-23] for reviewing this article. ####[Chain Reaction](http://uoj.ac/problem/50) in UOJ Round 3 By [user:vfleaking,2020-04-23] **Statement** ​ You are given a set $A$, you need to compute $g_{i} = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{j,k}{i-1 \choose j}{i-1-j \choose k} g_jg_k$ where $i-1-j-k \in A$. **Solution** ​ Let the EGF of $g$ be $x(t)$ and EGF of $A$ be $a(t)$. Thus $x'(t)=\frac{1}{2} a(t) x^2(t)+1$. We can solve this equation by D&C and FFT in $O(n\log^2 n)$. But there is a <s>slower</s> solution in $O(n\log n)$. ​ For a polynomial equation $f(x(t))=0$, we can use the Newton's method to solve it. If we find ...

[https://alphastar.academy/events/](https://alphastar.academy/events/) May 11 (Saturday) The first day will be two medium-difficulty 3-hours contests with analysis. Skip this if you're an experienced platinum contestant. May 12 (Sunday) For stronger participants: 5-hour contest + analysis For others: lectures on centroid decomposition, EV and summation, randomized algorithms. Then you have 30 minutes to get familiar with the 5-hour contest problems so you could attend the analysis. I will use existing pro...

I think it can help you to never give up. ### A brief about me I've been doing competitive programming for ten years. I advanced to ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contests) World Finals twice, in 2019 at Porto and 2020 at Moscow.

Iran National OI Team Selection Contests Hello everyone! We are glad to invite you to participate in the Iran National OI Team Selection contests. ![ ](https://i.ibb.co/cxS6SYL/Screen-Shot-1400-03-04-at-21-21-18.png) Every year in Iran, the Iranian National Olympiad in Informatics (INOI) committee conducts a summer camp to choose 8 top students to prepare them for next year's IOI and a spring camp to choose 4 out of those 8 to form the Iranian national team in IOI. After the successful experience of holding the mirror of last year’s summer camp contest with few contestants, we are going to have the mirror of our national team selection on a larger scale. The level of these contests is around the IOI, and harder than the contests of the summer camp, and the point of holding the mirror of these contests is to help the IOI participants from other countries to prepare better for the IOI, and Persian younger students to have experience of these contests and prepare better for the future. ![ ](https://i.ibb.co/GR8TJ...

Palindromic tree: behind the scenes Hi everyone! As some of you may know, on this summer camp in Petrozavodsk [user:MikhailRubinchik,2014-09-25] presented a new data structure, palindromic tree. I had the honor to participate in the study of the structure for the six months before that, and I want to tell about it now :) [cut]<br> But firstly a brief explanation. If you alredy know basic ideas of the structure, you may go to the <a href="#inter">interest part</a>. Let's to each palindrome assign corresponding string equal to its right half, i.e., its radius and the boolean variable indicating its parity. Now let's merge all our radii of subpalindromes of string $S$ in two prefix trees for even and odd lengths separately. Claim: such trie will be $\mathit O(n)$ in memory. Indeed, there can be no more than $n$ distinct subpalindromes in the string, and each node in trie corresponds with only one unique palindrome. Therefore, we have no more than $n + 2$ nodes. Let's show that such structure can be constructed ...

Some materials and links of old opencup contests are missing, maybe [user:snarknews,2020-11-10] could help to fill these entries. I will update the list when new opencup stages published.

RunTwice Contest in Universal Cup! Hi! The next stage of Universal Cup, Run Twice Contest, will happen on December 30-31, 2023. As the name suggests, all problems in the contest are in run-twice format. I am the author of the contest. Originally, the contest was held in Petrozavodsk Summer Camp 2022. The plan was to hold it later as an Opencup stage, in order to further introduce the format to a wider audience. Alas, Opencup got suspended around that time. Fortunately, sharing it beyond the camp can finally happen now. Thanks go to [user:Qingyu,2023-12-29] and the other Universal Cup admins! [cut] &nbsp; ### About Universal Cup The Universal Cup is a contest series for competitive programming teams. Among other qualities, it is a spiritual successor to Opencup. The stages are various camp stages, ICPC regionals, local contests and the like. This scheme gives participants fresh, diverse and quality contests to train and compete, at the same time allowing local contest authors to share their wor...

Problem converting Z function to prefix function and vice versa I was solving the string section problems from Brazilian summer camp 2018, and there were following problems: **You are given z-function of some (unknown for you) string s, write prefix-function of the string s.** **You are given prefix-function of some (unknown for you) string s, write z-function of the string s.** I thought that if these were solvable, just storing all the equality information would suffice on both problems, and they indeed got AC (Code below). But I have no clue how to prove either of these, and I couldn't find the editorial on google. Can someone tell me how to prove these? <spoiler summary="z->pi"> ~~~~~ struct disjoint_set{ vector<int> p; disjoint_set(int n): p(n, -1){ } bool share(int a, int b){ return root(a) == root(b); } int sz(int u){ return -p[root(u)]; } int root(int u){ return p[u] < 0 ? u : p[u] = root(p[u]); } // O(alpha(n)) bool merge(int u, int v){ u = root(u), v = root(v); if(u == v) return false; if(p[u] > p[v...

Итоги Volga Winter Camp 2020 7 февраля завершились сборы Volga Winter Camp 2020! Это уже наши третьи открытые сборы серии Volga Camp, чему мы, безусловно, рады. Напомним, что Volga Camp мы проводим дважды в год совместно с Ярославским государственным университетом им. Демидова. В этом году мы насчитали 49 участников, включая студентов из Москвы и Архангельска, а также студентов и школьников из Ярославля, Ростова и Владикавказа. По традиции сборы прошли в Ярославле на базе ЯрГУ и продлились 10 дней. На этот раз занятия проводились только для индивидуальных участников младшего дивизиона, а главной темой стали алгоритмы на графах. Плюс выбранного нами формата сборов в том, что все задачи можно было дорешивать, а также в любой момент лично пообщаться с тренерами насчет алгоритмов, их реализации и не только. Нововведением Volga Winter Camp 2020 стала организация прямых трансляций наших лекций, так что каждый желающий смог к нам присоединиться и узнать что-то новое. Также мы проводили трансляции разб...

Detailed Editorial for problem "The Struggle" from XXII Opencup, Grand Prix of XiAn Hello, Codeforces! ["The Struggle"](https://codeforces.me/gym/103329/problem/F) (Codeforces Gym 103329F) is a problem I authored which appeared in the HDU Multi-university Training, the Ptz Summer Camp and the Open Cup. Despite appearing in contests where there are a total of ~1300 three people teams, I know of few (possibly no more than 5) people who have learned and independently implemented the solution. The problem is pretty much fun and the solution is quite easy to implement (actual implementation < 2kb). hos_lyric [said that](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/95341?#comment-844166) this is a good problem! From this blog you will easily learn how the algorithm works and how to implement the solution effortlessly. There shall be no more mystery, and you will become able to solve this OpenCup problem that few people have solved right today! The problem statement is very simple: Given an ellipse $E$ that is contained in $(0,4 \times 10^6) \times (0,4 \times 10^6)$, calcu...

List of All Petrozavodsk Contests Like my last blog [List of All Open Cup Contests](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/84466). I made this list for all contests from Petrozavodsk Training Camp, containing the standings, upsolving links and statements. The upsolving links of Petrozavodsk Summer 2020 are private, yandex.contest logins are needed. I will update the link if other sources found. And thanks to the efforts of [Baekjoon Online Judge](https://www.acmicpc.net/), most contests from winter 2015 to winter 2020 can be solved without private logins. For some of the rest contests, opentrains logins are needed. And for some of the rest contests, I found several other sources to virtual participant using [Virtual Judge](https://vjudge.net/), [Codeforces gyms](https://codeforces.me/gyms) and [Programmers club of PetrSU](http://acm.petrsu.ru/). For some of the rest contests, I could not find any public sources and maybe someone could help with it (I believe problems in Warsaw U Contests are from old POI or PA). ...

Teaching algorithms to high school students in Ethiopia Hi everyone! This summer I participated in the program AddisCoder 2019. It is a five-week intensive summer camp where high school students from different regions of Ethiopia learning the basics of programming and algorithms. Next summer the program will be held as well. It was an amazing experience because I met a lot of cool and passionate students, teaching assistants and professors. As for TAs, we were working on problems for students, helping them with exercises, giving mini-lectures and had a lot of fun exploring Ethiopia together in our free time. Students chosen for this program are good. They were selected by the Ministry of Education based on their achievements during studying in high school or applied themselves. Some students never used a computer before the program still being quite good at maths and it was exciting to see their advancement from that level to ability to write some simple algorithms. After the program, they have an opportunity to continue study in ...

OCPC 2025 Summer scheduling Hi everyone! We are currently trying to schedule OCPC 2025 Summer (see e.g. [wrap](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/140021) for this Winter for details), and as it always happens, it is very difficult due to potential conflicts with other events and camps. As such, we need some help from all potential participants to choose the best dates for the camp. We would really appreciate it if everyone potentially interested in participating this Summer would fill **[this form](https://forms.gle/Ayc1BKJdSv49EErx7)**. Filling the form is not binding, of course, and its main purpose is to collect necessary information before actually scheduling the camp, so please fill it even if you're not certain yet whether you would attend or not. If you have any further scheduling-related information that you would like us to consider, please write it here in the comments, or reach out to me in DM. Scheduling in summer is always hard, but we hope to make through it with your help. P.S. We ar...

OCPC onsite scheduling survey Hi everyone! OCPC 2025 Summer just concluded for Bucharest and remote participants. I hope everyone involved had lots of fun participating, and ended up learning something new and useful for official competitive programming events. As it is always extremely tricky to schedule onsite events like this in Summer, I once again ask for your help with determining the best conditions that we can provide to accommodate as much participants as possible. Historically, OCPC participation, both onsite and remote was smaller in summer than in winter, due to various reasons, including internships, conflicting events, and more. Nevertheless, there _is_ some demand for the event in summer as well, which is why we still want and hope to maintain the current schedule of hosting the event twice a year. This time around, we had an extra survey about best scheduling for summer, which ended up with majority of pollers indicating that they are only available in a very brief window in June. Such t...

The history of some recurring problem Hi everyone! This one will be long and contain a lot of off-topic, prepare yourself (or skip down to solution of mentioned problem)! ### Intro In this blog post I would like to talk about some problem that somehow was on my mind for several years and yet only now I have some more or less complete understanding of how to deal with it. The problem is as follows: _You're given string $S$ and $q$ queries. In each query you have to count amount of distinct substrings of $S[l,r]$._ [cut] <br><br> Since then and for a long time this one was probably the hardest string problem I could ever imagine. In particular I saw some partial cases of it on several judges, which supported my assumption that problem is particularly tough. Some notable examples: - [To Queue or not to Queue](https://www.codechef.com/problems/TMP01) on codechef by [user:Gerald,2018-08-24]. It is the same problem, but queries are formed as queue, i.e. you have to add letter to the right, delete letters from th...

[user:dmikhalin,2024-12-01], my first informatics teacher who inspired me to do competitive programming [user:gmusya,2024-12-01], teacher in B parallel of the main programming club in Russia, who answered many of my questions and helped my a lot And all the teachers of parallel A! I'd like to tell a timeline of my progression. Three years ago when I ended 8th grade I got a giant boost of motivation after I learned segment tree and dsu from CF EDU (that's actually useful try it). In summer school I got to expert (that was so cool, I still remember how I solved problem F from div 3, back then it was difficult). Then I continued to grind CF. Before 9th class I learned that there is a strong programming club from Tinkoff, so I decided to try to get there. Easily the best decision, this club gave me a gigantic boost during these ...

Feel free to comment on the tutorials listed in the following (with some follow-up questions left to readers). Hope you enjoy solving these problems. --- [problem:103652A] <spoiler summary="solution"> The number of updates can be counted as the number of ordered pairs $(u, v)$ such that when $u$ is going to be removed, there exists at least one path between $u$ and $v$. If the path between $u$ and $v$ is unique in the original graph, we can conclude that pair exists if $u$ is the first removed node on the path with respect to an order, and $\frac{1}{cnt(u, v)}$ of all possible orders would meet this condition, where $cnt(u, v)$ is the number of nodes on the unique path between $u$ and $v$ (inclusive).

Итоги Volga Summer Camp 2019 Сборы Volga Summer Camp 2019 завершены! У нас получилось по-настоящему всероссийское мероприятие, ведь участие в нем приняли студенты из самых разных ВУЗов страны. Как и зимние сборы Volga Camp, они длились 2 недели и проходили на базе Ярославского государственного университета им. П.Г. Демидова. Занятия проводились для двух дивизионов: младший для участников, которые готовятся выйти в полуфинал ACM ICPC, и старший для тех, кто нацелен на финал. В старшем дивизионе упор был сделан на прорешивание контестов высокого уровня сложности и тренировку командной работы, в младшем же, помимо командных тренировок, проводились и лекционные занятия, а также тематические контесты. В течение сборов составлялся рейтинг участников в зависимости от количества решенных задач, поэтому любое свободное время они старались посвящать дорешиванию задач, разборы которых, кстати, проводились после каждого контеста. Так как решение всех этих сложных задач требует много усилий, за время сборов д...

XXII Open Cup. Grand Prix of Daejeon Hello! [XXII Open Cup. Grand Prix of Daejeon](https://official.contest.yandex.ru/opencupXXII/contest/35265/enter) will be held in [2022/03/27 Sunday, 17:00 KST (UTC+9)](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=GP+of+Daejeon+2022&iso=20220327T17&p1=3999&ah=5). **The date of March 27 is final**. Daejeon is home to [KAIST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAIST), but the contest itself has little to do with it, it just inherits the spirit of 2019 Daejeon GP. The contest was used as a Day 2 Contest for Petrozavodsk Winter Camp 2022. I'm sorry for the camp participants over the lack of editorial. I will work to publish the full editorials right after the GP.

As you know, some days ago we announced [discounts](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/79932) for students from some developing countries and since then we have received a number of letters.

The selection contest is already open! We have made the registration easier, so now to participate in the contest all you have to do is register by following the link: https://contest.misis.ru/auth/register?groupKey=f3a65978ed2628f2d2810fe6c58398af4d0969b5d44a8332ae4646c570d520bc4f8e8f898853c895bd68372b92329ba1.

[Problem D: Identity Function](http://jag2015summer-day4.contest.atcoder.jp/tasks/icpc2015summer_day4_d) In short, 1. Using Chinese Remainder Theorem, and solve the equation in each $p^e$ where $ N \equiv 0 \mod p^e $ . 2. Combine the results. More precisely, The problem is, "For given $N$, find the minimum positive integer $k$, such that for all $0 < a < N$, $a^{(N^k)} \equiv a \mod N$." For a prime $p$, $p^{(N^k)} \not \equiv p \mod p^2$. Thus, if $p^2$ is a divisor of $N$ for some $p$, then the answer is "-1" (which means there is no such $k$). Now, we can assume that $N$ can be represent as $p_1 * p_2 * \cdots * p_r$, by some distinct prime numbers $p_i$. (That is, $N$ is square-free number.) From the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the answer $k$ is the minimum positive integer, such that for all $i$ and for all $0 < a < p_i$, $a^{(N^k)} \equiv a ...

How does IT work in Iran. Part 2 Before leaving Tehran I asked [user:SeMeKh,2013-02-19] a couple of questions on how the training for the competitions works in Iran. There are local and regional Olympiads in Informatics in Iran which take place across the whole country. Top 40 winners will get together in so-called Golden Camp and train the whole summer, with a break of 2-3 weeks in [Ramadan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan), **so the camp duration exceeds 2 months**. Part of the participants with lowest scores leave the camp earlier. The rating of participants is classified as either gold, silver, or bronze. "Golden" participants get the right to enter any university in the country without Concur. The 4 participants of IOI are also selected from the "gold" category. _Please note, that there is no national Olympiad in Informatics._ &mdash; see note below.

t.me/umnik_team Contest on Timus Hello Codeforces! Sadly there will be no OpenCup round this weekend, but instead I invite you to participate in a [mirror of t.me/umnik_team Contest](http://acm.timus.ru/contest.aspx?id=730&locale=en) which will be held on Timus Online Judge [this Sunday, 12 MSK](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Petrozavodsk%20Summer%202018.%20t.me/umnik_team%20Contest&iso=20190519T0900&ah=5&am=0). This contest was originally held on Petrozavodsk Summer Camp 2018 (if you participated in the camp, please do not participate in this contest). This is an up-to-3-person team contest with ICPC rules (one computer per team). Difficulty level is comparable to OpenCup rounds (not [user:TooDifficuIt,2019-05-16]-hard, but certainly not for Div.2). Author of most of the problems is me, with huge help from [user:Merkurev,2019-05-16] and one problem from [user:Kronecker,2019-05-16]. Hope you will enjoy the contest.

Meet IT Winter Workshops 2020 are for you! ![ ](/predownloaded/77/f1/77f168719a11e118802f4bc2d9519a8c3d38865b.png) Remember **Camp IT**? Well, it’s ok if not, because we’re organizing a new one and the summer one won’t be worth mentioning compared to this one anyways. There won’t only be programming tasks on **IOI** level, but also **ML workshops**! You might think they won’t be challenging enough for you... The advanced level of the workshops will be hosted by profesionalists with years of experience (for example, Marek Bardoński from AI Revolution). They are prepared to grasp interest not only needs of students with little or no experience in Machine Learning, but also of those who have already worked in ML projects or interned at companies such as Boston Consulting Group or Facebook. If you don’t already know, apart from the tasks and ML workshops there will be fun Evening Activities &mdash; as if the like-minded people, with whom you can talk for hours, was not enough. **Everyone 16-21 years** old can apply (if...

ACM MISIS и приёмная кампания 2019 Всем привет! В ВУЗах нашей страны стартовала приемная кампания. И вот мы решили написать пост, посвященный участию в секции спортивного программирования ACM MISIS в частности и особенностям учебы в НИТУ “МИСиС” в целом. ![ ](https://pp.userapi.com/c855436/v855436216/7612f/5e_T-e0aKuw.jpg) Вообще, в нашей секции может заниматься любой студент, и начать он может с любого курса. Конечно, редко приходят старшекурсники, однако наличие второкурсников в каждом новом наборе &mdash; норма. Каждый год в конце сентября мы проводим отборочное тестирование для занятий в секции. На нем мы даем разные математические задачки, позволяющие проверить базовые знания студентов и их способность к логическому мышлению. Лучшим мы рассылаем приглашения в секцию. Однако, мы еще раз повторим, отлично решенное тестирование не является обязательным для занятий в секции. Мы всем рады. К тому же, реалии нашего университета таковы, что тестирование мы проводим лишь для студентов института (читай, факультета)...

INOI Online Contests Hello Codeforces! We are going to hold some online OI-style contests, the tasks are the selected tasks, chosen from the older Iran national team selection contests. The level of these contests is around the IOI, maybe a bit simpler, and the main reason of them is to help Iranian students to prepare better for the summer camp contests, which will be held around 3 weeks from now and the national medalists will be chosen there. ![ ](https://i.ibb.co/DMvqgp5/Screen-Shot-1400-05-17-at-19-05-08.png) And also we did translate tasks to English, so that if anyone from anywhere wanted to prepare for the IOI or other competitions could use it too. We will have 1 contest per week, and you can freely choose 5 hours to participate in the contest, after each contest the top performers will be announced. You can participate in contests on the [inoi-judge](https://inoi-judge.ir/) website, the first contest time period starts from [Aug 10. 08:00 GMT](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldcl...

2025 SI@UCF Competitive Programming Summer Camp for High School Students ![ ](https://cs.ucf.edu/~dmarino/ucf/bhcsi/ucflogo.png) The University of Central Florida has offered a summer competitive programming camp for high school students for over 10 years now. Multiple former students have gone onto attend the USACO Camp and one former student earned a gold medal in IOI. Several students later went onto attend the ICPC World Finals. The camp is supported by teaching assistants from the UCF Programming Team, which consistently performs well at the ICPC World Finals, earning a Bronze Medal in 2018. This year, we are proud to announce that our two instructors are Mr. Christian Lim ([user:yongwoods,2025-03-12]), Columbia's ICPC Head Coach, and Mr. Arup Guha ([user:wphsucf,2025-03-12]), one of UCF's team coaches.
