Tree MEX

Minimum excludant (or MEX for short) of a collection of integers is the smallest non-negative integer not present in the set. You have a tree $T$ with $n$ vertices. Consider an ordering $P = (v_1, \ldots, v_n)$ of vertices of $T$. We construct a sequence $A(P) = (a_1, \ldots, a_n)$ using the following process: - Set all $a_i = -1$. - Process vertices in order $v_1, \ldots, v_n$. Fo
