We study a scenario for route planning in road networks, where the objective to be optimized may change between every shortest path query. Since this invalidates many of the known speedup techniques for road networks that are based on…
A matching cut is a partition of the vertex set of a graph into two sets $A$ and $B$ such that each vertex has at most one neighbor in the other side of the cut. The MATCHING CUT problem asks whether a graph has a matching cut, and has been…
