We present an algorithm for the k shortest simple path problem on weighted directed graphs (kSSP) that is based on Eppstein's algorithm for a similar problem in which paths are allowed to contain cycles. In contrast to most other algorithms…

We study SINGLE-SOURCE SHORTEST PATH (SSSP) on unweighted intersection graphs whose node set corresponds to a set of $n$ constant-complexity objects in the plane. We prove SSSP can be solved in $O(U(n)\ \mathrm{polylog}\,n)$ expected time…

This paper investigates two types of graph queries: {\em single source distance (SSD)} queries and {\em single source shortest path (SSSP)} queries. Given a node $v$ in a graph $G$, an SSD query from $v$ asks for the distance from $v$ to…

Let G be a directed graph with n vertices and non-negative weights in its directed edges, embedded on a surface of genus g, and let f be an arbitrary face of G. We describe a randomized algorithm to preprocess the graph in O(gn log n) time…

In the dynamic Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ subject to edge insertions and deletions and a source vertex $s\in V$, and the goal is to maintain the distance $d(s,t)$ for all $t\in V$.…

We study the 2-Disjoint Shortest Paths (2-DSP) problem: given a directed weighted graph and two terminal pairs $(s_1,t_1)$ and $(s_2,t_2)$, decide whether there exist vertex-disjoint shortest paths between each pair. Building on recent…

This paper is about the problem of finding a shortest $s$-$t$ path using at most $h$ edges in edge-weighted graphs. The Bellman--Ford algorithm solves this problem in $O(hm)$ time, where $m$ is the number of edges. We show that this running…

The approximate single-source shortest-path problem is as follows: given a graph with nonnegative edge weights and a designated source vertex $s$, return estimates of the distances from~$s$ to each other vertex such that the estimate falls…

Given a graph with a source vertex $s$, the Single Source Replacement Paths (SSRP) problem is to compute, for every vertex $t$ and edge $e$, the length $d(s,t,e)$ of a shortest path from $s$ to $t$ that avoids $e$. A Single-Source Distance…

The GC problem is to identify a pre-determined number of center vertices such that the distances or costs from (or to) the centers to (or from) other vertices is minimized. The bottleneck of a path is the minimum capacity of edges on the…

Let $G=(V,E,w)$ be a weighted directed graph without negative cycles. For two vertices $s,t\in V$, we let $d_{\le h}(s,t)$ be the minimum, according to the weight function $w$, of a path from $s$ to $t$ that uses at most $h$ edges, or hops.…
