Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a variant of this classical problem in which the position of each…
We consider a fashion discounter distributing its many branches with integral multiples from a set of available lot-types. For the problem of approximating the branch and size dependent demand using those lots we propose a tailored exact…
In this paper we consider shortest path problems in a directed graph where the transitions between nodes are subject to uncertainty. We use a minimax formulation, where the objective is to guarantee that a special destination state is…
Querying the shortest path between two vertexes is a fundamental operation in a variety of applications, which has been extensively studied over static road networks. However, in reality, the travel costs of road segments evolve over time,…
This paper discusses the shortest path problem in a general directed graph with $n$ nodes and $K$ cost scenarios (objectives). In order to choose a solution, the min-max criterion is applied. The min-max version of the problem is hard to…
Considering a graph with unknown weights, can we find the shortest path for a pair of nodes if we know the minimal Steiner trees associated with some subset of nodes? That is, with respect to a fixed latent decision-making system (e.g., a…
The problem of providing meaningful routing directions over road networks is of great importance. In many real-life cases, the fastest route may not be the ideal choice for providing directions in written, spoken text, or for an unfamiliar…
