BOTTOM - The Bottom of a Graph

We will use the following (standard) definitions from graph theory. Let V be a nonempty and finite set, its elements being called vertices (or nodes). Let E be a subset of the Cartesian product V×V, its elements being called edges. Then G=(V,E) is called a directed graph.

Let n be a positive integer, and let p=(e1,,en) be a sequence of length n of edges eiE such that ei=(vi,vi+1) for a sequence of vertices (v1,,vn+1). Then p is called a path from vertex v1 to vertex vn+1 in G and we say that vn+1 is reachable from v1, writing (v1vn+1).

Here are some new definitions. A node v in a graph G=(V,E) is called a sink, if for every node w in G that is reachable from v, v is also reachable from w. The bottom of a graph is the subset of all nodes that are sinks, i.e., bottom(G)={vVwV:(vw)(wv)}. You have to calculate the bottom of certain graphs.

Input Specification

The input contains several test cases, each of which corresponds to a directed graph G. Each test case starts with an integer number v, denoting the number of vertices of G=(V,E), where the vertices will be identified by the integer numbers in the set V={1,,v}. You may assume that 1v5000. That is followed by a non-negative integer e and, thereafter, e pairs of vertex identifiers v1,w1,,ve,we with the meaning that (vi,wi)E. There are no edges other than specified by these pairs. The last test case is followed by a zero.

Output Specification

For each test case output the bottom of the specified graph on a single line. To this end, print the numbers of all nodes that are sinks in sorted order separated by a single space character. If the bottom is empty, print an empty line.

Is the graph always connected?

TLE with O(n^3),O(mn)

learned a lot from this one..!!

@Alaa Shafaee: 2 doesnt have any out going edge. However you can always assume that a node has an edge to itself. so 2->2 is assumed. Hence 2 has been printed. as it is only linked to 2 and its imaginary image is linked to itself.

I did not get the second test case. There is a path from 1 to 2, however, there is no path from 2 to 1 since we have 1 edge. Can someone explain it?
Thanks

Re: Paul. I hope so, but not sure. I think my sol didn't assume it. Since there's such spiffy math description, it would be a real blunder to mix a set with multiset.

Re Amit Ranjan:
It doesn't say that such a graph must exist. If you would manage to find it though, you'll know what to output ;)

Since E is a subSET of VxV, that means there are no duplicate edges, right?

@Amit Ranjan I think it can be proved that every graph has at least one sink.
