Given a graph and a pair of terminals $s$, $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem asks for an $s\!\to \!t$ (simple) path that is shortest among all not shortest $s\!\to \!t$ paths (if one exists). This problem was introduced in 1996, and…

The problem of listing the $K$ shortest simple (loopless) $st$-paths in a graph has been studied since the early 1960s. For a non-negatively weighted graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the most efficient solution is an $O(K(mn + n^2…

In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…
