A distributed network is modeled by a graph having $n$ nodes (processors) and diameter $D$. We study the time complexity of approximating {\em weighted} (undirected) shortest paths on distributed networks with a $O(\log n)$ {\em bandwidth…

APSP with small integer weights in undirected graphs [Seidel'95, Galil and Margalit'97] has an $\tilde{O}(n^\omega)$ time algorithm, where $\omega<2.373$ is the matrix multiplication exponent. APSP in directed graphs with small weights…

We study the 2-Disjoint Shortest Paths (2-DSP) problem: given a directed weighted graph and two terminal pairs $(s_1,t_1)$ and $(s_2,t_2)$, decide whether there exist vertex-disjoint shortest paths between each pair. Building on recent…
We present an all-pairs shortest path algorithm whose running time on a complete directed graph on $n$ vertices whose edge weights are chosen independently and uniformly at random from $[0,1]$ is $O(n^2)$, in expectation and with high…
