Offline Deletion
Authors: Benjamin Qi, Siyong Huang
Prerequisites
Erasing from non-amortized insert-only data structures.
Offline Deleting from a Data Structure
Using a persistent data structure or rollbacking, you are able to simulate deleting from a data structure while only using insertion operations.

Dynamic Connectivity is the most common problem using the deleting trick. The problem is to determine whether pairs of nodes are in the same connected component while edges are being inserted and removed.
DSU With Rollback
DSU with rollback is a subproblem required to solve the above task.

Warning: Watch Out!
Because path compression is amortized, it does not guarauntee runtime. You must use merging by rank.
Implementation
C++
int p[MN], r[MN];int *t[MN*40], v[MN*40], X;int setv(int *a, int b){if(*a != b) t[X] = a, v[X] = *a, *a = b, ++X;return b;}void rollback(int x) {for(;X>x;) --X, *t[X] = v[X];}int find(int n) {return p[n] ? find(p[n]) : n;}bool merge(int a, int b)
