Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with positive edge lengths and two vertices $s$ and $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem is to find an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path…

In the Single Source Replacement Paths (SSRP) problem we are given a graph $G = (V, E)$, and a shortest paths tree $\widehat{K}$ rooted at a node $s$, and the goal is to output for every node $t \in V$ and for every edge $e$ in…

We study the vertex-decremental Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with lengths $\ell(e)\geq 1$ on its edges and a source vertex $s$, we need to support (approximate) shortest-path queries in…

We consider the problem of computing shortest paths in weighted unit-disk graphs in constant dimension $d$. Although the single-source and all-pairs variants of this problem are well-studied in the plane case, no non-trivial exact distance…

We prove that the single-source shortest-path problem on disk graphs can be solved in $O(n\log n)$ time, and that it can be solved on intersection graphs of fat triangles in $O(n\log^2 n)$ time.

We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…

In the decremental Single-Source Shortest Path problem (SSSP), we are given a weighted directed graph $G=(V,E,w)$ undergoing edge deletions and a source vertex $r \in V$; let $n = |V|, m = |E|$ and $W$ be the aspect ratio of the graph. The…
