Problem Statement

An augmentation on a graph GG is defined as doing the following:
- Take some set DD of vertices in GG, and duplicate each vertex viDv_i \in D to create a new vertex viv_i'.
- If there's an edge between a pair of vertices vi,vjDv_i, v_j \in D, create an edge between vertices viv_i' and vjv_j'. If there's an edge between a pair of vertices viDv_i \in D, vjDv_j \notin D, you can choose to create an edge between viv_i' and vjv_j but do not have to.
A graph is called reachable from GG if it can be created through some sequence of augmentations on GG. Some graph HH has nn vertices and satisfies that both HH and the complement of HH are reachable from a complete graph of 20212021 vertices. If the maximum and minimum values of nn are MM and mm, find M+mM+m.
