In this paper we give a single-source shortest-path algorithm that breaks, after over 65 years, the $O(n \cdot m)$ bound for the running time of the Bellman-Ford-Moore algorithm, where $n$ is the number of vertices and $m$ is the number of…

We give a deterministic $O(m\log^{2/3}n)$-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition model. This is the first result to break the $O(m+n\log n)$…

All traditional methods of computing shortest paths depend upon edge-relaxation where the cost of reaching a vertex from a source vertex is possibly decreased if that edge is used. We introduce a method which maintains lower bounds as well…
