Abstract

Let G=(G,w){\cal G}=(G,w) be a positive-weighted graph, that is a graph GG endowed with a function ww from the edge set of GG to the set of positive real numbers; for any distinct vertices i,ji,j , we define Di,j(G)D_{i,j}({\cal G}) to be the weight of the path in GG joining ii and jj with minimum weight. In this paper we fix a particular class of graphs and we give a criterion to establish whether, given a family of positive real numbers {DI}I({1,....,n}2)\{D_I\}_{I \in { \{1,...., n\} \choose 2}}, there exists a positive-weighted graph G=(G,w){\cal G} =(G,w) in the class we have fixed, with vertex set equal to {1,....,n}\{1,....,n\} and such that DI(G)=DID_I ({\cal G}) =D_I for any I({1,....,n}2)I \in { \{1,...., n\} \choose 2}. In particular, the classes of graphs we consider are the following: snakes, caterpillars, polygons, bipartite graphs, complete graphs, planar graphs.
