Maximum sum of nodes in Binary tree such that no two are adjacent

Last Updated : 09 Mar, 2023

Given a binary tree with a value associated with each node, we need to choose a subset of these nodes such that the sum of selected nodes is maximum under a constraint that no two chosen nodes in the subset should be directly connected, that is, if we have taken a node in our sum then we can’t take any of its children in consideration and vice versa

Examples:

Input:

Explanation: In the above binary tree, chosen nodes are encircled and are not directly connected, and their sum is the maximum possible

The maximum sum of nodes in a Binary tree such that no two are adjacent using Recursion:

We can solve this problem by considering the fact that both node and its children can’t be in sum at the same time, so when we take a node into our sum, we will call recursively for its grandchildren or if we don’t take this node then we will call for all its children nodes and finally we will choose maximum from both of the results.

It can be seen easily that the above approach can lead to solving the same subproblem many times, for example in the above diagram node 1 calls node 4 and 5 when its value is chosen and node 3 also calls them when its value is not chosen so these nodes are processed more than once. We can stop solving these nodes more than once by memorizing the result at all nodes

Follow the below steps to solve the problem:

Create a map to memorize the results
Recur to solve the problem for the root node
If the root is NULL return 0 (Base Case)
If the answer to this subproblem is already stored in the map, then return it
Now either include the current node and recur for its grandchildren
or don’t take the current node and recur for its left and the right child
Save the answer to this problem equal to the maximum of the above two cases
Return the answer

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find maximum sum from a subset of
// nodes of binary tree

    temp->left = temp->right = NULL;
    return temp;

// method returns maximum sum possible from subtrees rooted
// at grandChildrens of node 'node'

                       map<struct node*, int>& mp)

    int sum = 0;
 
    //  call for children of left child only if it is not

    //  NULL

               + getMaxSumUtil(node->right->right, mp);
 
    return sum;
}

{
    if (node == NULL)
        return 0;

    if (mp.find(node) != mp.end())
        return mp[node];
 
    //  take current node value and call for all grand
    //  children
    int incl = node->data + sumOfGrandChildren(node, mp);
 
    //  don't take current node value and call for all

The maximum sum of nodes in a Binary tree such that no two are adjacent using pair:

Return a pair for each node in the binary tree such that the first of the pair indicates the maximum sum when the data of a node is included and the second indicates the maximum sum when the data of a particular node is not included

Follow the below steps to solve the problem:

Recur to solve the problem for the root node
If the root is NULL return 0 (Base Case)
Create a pair of <int, int> sum1 and set sum1 equal to the answer of root->left child
Create a pair of <int, int> sum2 and set sum2 equal to the answer of root->right child
Create a pair of <int, int> sum and set sum.first equal to sum1.second + sum2.second + root->data
Set sum.second equal to the maximum of (sum1.first, sum1.second) + maximum of (sum2.first, sum2.second)
Return sum

The maximum sum of nodes in a Binary tree such that no two are adjacent using Dynamic programming:

Store the maximum sum by including a node or excluding the node in a dp array or unordered map. Recursively call for grandchildren of nodes if the node is included or calls for its neighbors if the node is excluded

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find maximum sum in Binary Tree
// such that no two nodes are adjacent.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
class Node {
public:
    int data;
    Node *left, *right;
    Node(int data)
    {
        this->data = data;
        left = NULL;
        right = NULL;
    }
};
// declare map /dp array as global
unordered_map<Node*, int> umap;
int maxSum(Node* root)
{
    // base case
    if (!root)
        return 0;
 
    // if the max sum from the  node is already in
    // map,return the value
    if (umap[root])
        return umap[root];
 
    // if the current node(root) is included in result
    // then find maximum sum
    int inc = root->data;
 
    // if left of node exists, add their grandchildren
    if (root->left) {
        inc += maxSum(root->left->left)
               + maxSum(root->left->right);
    }
    // if right of node exist,add their grandchildren
    if (root->right) {
        inc += maxSum(root->right->left)
               + maxSum(root->right->right);
    }
 
    // if the current node(root) is excluded, find the
    // maximum sum
    int ex = maxSum(root->left) + maxSum(root->right);
 
    // store the maximum of including & excluding the node
    // in map
    umap[root] = max(inc, ex);
    return max(inc, ex);
}

Approach: To solve the problem follow the below idea:

For every node, we find the following:

The maximum sum of non-adjacent nodes including the node.

The maximum sum of non-adjacent nodes excluding the node.

Now, we return both values in the recursive call. The parent node of the previously calculated node gets the maximum sum (including & excluding) of the child node. Accordingly, the parent now calculates the maximum sum(including & excluding) and returns. This process continues till the root node. Finally, we return the max(sum including root, sum excluding root)

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

The maximum sum of nodes in a Binary tree such that no two are adjacent using Memorization:

To solve the problem follow the below idea:

For every node, we can either choose it or leave it and pass on this information to children. Since we are passing on this information about the parent being selected or not, we don’t need to worry about the grandchildren of the node

So for every node, we do the following:

If the parent is selected, we don’t select the current node and move on to the children.

if the parent is not selected, we will either select or not select this node; in either case, we pass that info to the children

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
