The Restricted Shortest Path (RSP) problem, also known as the Delay-Constrained Least-Cost (DCLC) problem, is an NP-hard bicriteria optimization problem on graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In a graph where each edge is assigned a…

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…
