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.…

We study the use of machine learning techniques to solve a fundamental shortest path problem, known as the single-source many-targets shortest path problem (SSMTSP). Given a directed graph with non-negative edge weights, our goal is to…

We present two new and efficient algorithms for computing all-pairs shortest paths. The algorithms operate on directed graphs with real (possibly negative) weights. They make use of directed path consistency along a vertex ordering d. Both…

The All-Pairs Shortest Path problem (APSP) is one of the most central problems in distributed computation. In the CONGEST-CLIQUE model, in which $n$ nodes communicate with each other over a fully connected network by exchanging messages of…

We study computing {\em all-pairs shortest paths} (APSP) on distributed networks (the CONGEST model). The goal is for every node in the (weighted) network to know the distance from every other node using communication. The problem admits…

We study the problem of computing shortest paths in so-called dense distance graphs. Every planar graph $G$ on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into a set of $O(n/r)$ edge-disjoint regions (called an $r$-division) with $O(r)$ vertices each,…

We present a new randomized method for computing the min-plus product (a.k.a., tropical product) of two $n \times n$ matrices, yielding a faster algorithm for solving the all-pairs shortest path problem (APSP) in dense $n$-node directed…

The \textit{Multi-Constraint Shortest Path (MCSP)} problem aims to find the shortest path between two nodes in a network subject to a given constraint set. It is typically processed as a \textit{skyline path} problem. However, the number of…

One of the most popular approaches to multi-target tracking is tracking-by-detection. Current min-cost flow algorithms which solve the data association problem optimally have three main drawbacks: they are computationally expensive, they…

Amiri and Wargalla (2020) proved the following local-to-global theorem in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs): if $G$ is a weighted DAG such that for each subset $S$ of 3 nodes there is a shortest path containing every node in $S$, then there…

We study the broadcast version of the CONGEST CLIQUE model of distributed computing. In this model, in each round, any node in a network of size $n$ can send the same message (i.e. broadcast a message) of limited size to every other node in…
