I have three questions about it:
1. How many problems are there?
2. Is there partial scoring?
3. Which language the problem statement is written?

What is the expected solution for Pb4? Is it correct to just assume all final numbers are in some small range like $$$[-5, 5]$$$ and then do DP from left to right?

    Task C. City of Future

    Author solution: ulandev.

    First, transform the coordinates $$$(x,\ y)$$$ to $$$(x'\ =\ x\ +\ y,\ y'\ = x\ -\ y)$$$. Now, the distance between two points $$$(x_1',\ y_1')$$$ and $$$(x_2',\ y_2')$$$ equals $$$max(|x_1'\ -\ x_2'|, |y_1'\ -\ y_2'|)$$$, which is called Chebyshev Distance, because:

    1. $$$x_1'\ -\ x_2'\ =\ x_1\ +\ y_1\ -\ x_2\ -\ y_2\ =\ (x_1\ -\ x_2)\ +\ (y_1\ -\ y_2)$$$
    2. $$$x_2'\ -\ x_1'\ =\ x_2\ +\ y_2\ -\ x_1\ -\ y_1\ =\ (x_2\ -\ x_1)\ +\ (y_2\ -\ y_1)$$$
    3. $$$y_1'\ -\ y_2'\ =\ x_1\ -\ y_1\ -\ x_2\ +\ y_2\ =\ (x_1\ -\ x_2)\ +\ (y_2\ -\ y_1)$$$
    4. $$$y_2'\ -\ y_1'\ =\ x_2\ -\ y_2\ -\ x_1\ +\ y_1\ =\ (x_2\ -\ x_1)\ +\ (y_1\ -\ y_2)$$$

    It is not hard to see why the maximum of those gives the Manhattan distance between two original points $$$(x_1,\ y_1)$$$ and $$$(x_2,\ y_2)$$$.

    With this trick, the task becomes much easier. You can sort the points by $$$x$$$ and then go by points from left to right, maintaining the $$$[last,\ i]$$$ window such that $$$x_i\ -\ x_{last}\ \leq\ C$$$. Each point $$$k$$$ in this window will be stored in a binary search tree as a pair $$$(y_k,\ k)$$$ (in C++ we use the standard set<pair<int, int>>).

    When adding a new point $$$(i\ +\ 1)$$$ to the window, we can quickly find the closest nodes in the tree $$$(y_p,\ p)$$$ and $$$(y_q,\ q)$$$ such that $$$y_p\ \leq\ y_{i + 1}\ \leq\ y_q$$$.

    If $$$y_{i + 1}\ -\ y_p\ \leq\ C$$$, then we register the edge between $$$(i\ +\ 1)$$$ and $$$p$$$ in the graph. Do the same with $$$y_q$$$.

    After that, you can simply traverse the graph and find the connected components.

Task B. Biased Path

Author solution: Azret.

If $$$S$$$ and $$$T$$$ are not in the same connected component, or if it is the same vertex, but it does not have self-loops, then the answer is "Mumkun emes".

Otherwise, we can define the result of an operation of multiplying a square matrix $$$P$$$ of size $$$N\ \times\ N$$$ by itself to be the matrix $$$R$$$, where $$$R_{i, j}\ =\ min(P_{i, k}\ +\ P_{k, j})$$$ for $$$1\ \leq\ i,\ j\ \leq\ N,\ 1\ \leq\ k\ \leq\ N$$$. Now you can raise this matrix $$$A$$$ to the power $$$2019\ -\ 1,\ 2 \times\ 2019\ -\ 1,\ 3\ \times\ 2019\ -\ 1$$$ until, as a result of multiplication, let's denote it by the matrix $$$B$$$, the value of $$$B_{S, T}$$$ will not be determined ($$$-1$$$ appears because the number of vertices in the path $$$-\ 1$$$ = number of edges).

Code

Author solution: ulandev.

Run Dijkstra on the graph $$$G\ \times\ 2019$$$, where $$$2019$$$ versions of $$$V_r$$$ are created for each vertex $$$V$$$ (one version corresponds to one remainder of division by $$$2019$$$). Each edge $$$X\ \rightarrow\ Y$$$ turns into $$$2019$$$ edges $$$X_r\ \rightarrow\ Y_{(r\ +\ 1) \mod 2019}$$$. We are looking for a path from $$$S_1$$$ to $$$T_0$$$.

Task D. Deriving Sequence

Author solution: ulandev.

Task D can be solved using dynamic programming. The state is the position $$$i$$$ and the value of the element at $$$i$$$ $$$(-1,\ 0,\ 1)$$$. Using that we can compute the state for $$$(i+1)$$$ and all possible values $$$(-1,\ 0,\ 1)$$$.

Why does it say "Rejected" when I submit in archive for Task B?
