We present a new approach called GR (Graph Reduction) algorithm for searching loop-less k-shortest paths (1st to k-th shortest paths) in a graph based on graph reduction. Let a source vertex and a target vertex of k-shortest paths be v_s…

We consider the worst-case query complexity of some variants of certain \cl{PPAD}-complete search problems. Suppose we are given a graph $G$ and a vertex $s \in V(G)$. We denote the directed graph obtained from $G$ by directing all edges in…

We study the reverse shortest path problem on disk graphs in the plane. In this problem we consider the proximity graph of a set of $n$ disks in the plane of arbitrary radii: In this graph two disks are connected if the distance between…

We study the replacement paths problem in the $\mathsf{CONGEST}$ model of distributed computing. Given an $s$-$t$ shortest path $P$, the goal is to compute, for every edge $e$ in $P$, the shortest-path distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding $e$.…

This paper presents parallel, distributed and quantum algorithms for single-source shortest paths when edges can have negative weights (negative-weight SSSP). We show a framework that reduces negative-weight SSSP in all these setting to…

In most of the shortest path problems like vehicle routing problems and network routing problems, we only need an efficient path between two points source and destination, and it is not necessary to calculate the shortest path from source…

Let $G$ be a directed graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and non-negative edge costs. Given $G$, a fixed source vertex $s$, and a positive integer $p$, we consider the problem of computing, for each vertex $t\neq s$, $p$ edge-disjoint…

We describe a new forward-backward variant of Dijkstra's and Spira's Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) algorithms. While essentially all SSSP algorithm only scan edges forward, the new algorithm scans some edges backward. The new…
