Abstract

For any graph GG with a,bV(G)a,b\in V(G), a shortest path reconfiguration graph can be formed with respect to aa and bb; we denote such a graph as S(G,a,b)S(G,a,b). The vertex set of S(G,a,b)S(G,a,b) is the set of all shortest paths from aa to bb in GG while two vertices U,WU,W in V(S(G,a,b))V(S(G,a,b)) are adjacent if and only if the vertex sets of the paths that represent UU and WW differ in exactly one vertex. In a recent paper [Asplund et al., \textit{Reconfiguration graphs of shortest paths}, Discrete Mathematics \textbf{341} (2018), no. 10, 2938--2948], it was shown that shortest path graphs with girth five or greater are exactly disjoint unions of even cycles and paths. In this paper, we extend this result by classifying all shortest path graphs with no induced 44-cycles.
