Meta Dynamic Programming: Employee Vacation Optimization

2025-10-30

Meta Tree DP question. This article demonstrates the application of Tree Dynamic Programming through the Employee Vacation Optimization problem. oavoservice helps you master advanced DP techniques.

📋 Problem Background

Company organization structure is a tree. Each employee has a vacation day requirement. Rule: If an employee takes a vacation, their direct subordinates cannot take a vacation. Goal: Maximize total vacation days.

🎯 Core Idea

This is a classic Tree DP problem, similar to "House Robber III".

Solution: Tree DP

class Employee:
    def __init__(self, id, vacation_days):
        self.id = id
        self.vacation_days = vacation_days
        self.subordinates = []

def max_vacation_days(root):
    def dfs(node):
        if not node:
            return (0, 0)
        
        # take: current employee takes vacation
        # not_take: current employee does not take vacation
        take = node.vacation_days
        not_take = 0
        
        for sub in node.subordinates:
            sub_take, sub_not_take = dfs(sub)
            
            # If current takes, sub cannot
            take += sub_not_take
            
            # If current doesn't take, sub can choose either
            not_take += max(sub_take, sub_not_take)
        
        return (take, not_take)
    
    take, not_take = dfs(root)
    return max(take, not_take)

Time Complexity: O(n) Space Complexity: O(h)

🚀 Extension: Multi-level Constraints

def max_vacation_with_constraints(root, max_consecutive):
    # Implementation handling consecutive level constraints
    pass
