How does Heavy-Light Decomposition help in efficiently solving Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) queries?
Heavy-Light Decomposition simplifies the LCA problem by reducing it to smaller subtree queries where pathfinding is done in logarithmic time.
Thatâ€™s partially correct. The decomposition helps with path queries, but LCA queries are solved using techniques like Binary Lifting, not by directly reducing to subtree queries.
Can you explain how Binary Lifting specifically works in conjunction with Heavy-Light Decomposition to solve LCA queries?
