We consider the problem of finding ``dissimilar'' $k$ shortest paths from $s$ to $t$ in an edge-weighted directed graph $D$, where the dissimilarity is measured by the minimum pairwise Hamming distances between these paths. More formally,…
The well-known $k$-disjoint path problem ($k$-DPP) asks for pairwise vertex-disjoint paths between $k$ specified pairs of vertices $(s_i, t_i)$ in a given graph, if they exist. The decision version of the shortest $k$-DPP asks for the…
Given an undirected $n$-vertex graph and $k$ pairs of terminal vertices $(s_1,t_1), \ldots, (s_k,t_k)$, the $k$-Disjoint Shortest Paths ($k$-DSP)-problem asks whether there are $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ such that…

This paper discusses the shortest path problem in a general directed graph with $n$ nodes and $K$ cost scenarios (objectives). In order to choose a solution, the min-max criterion is applied. The min-max version of the problem is hard to…
A solution of the $k$ shortest paths problem may output paths that are identical up to a single edge. On the other hand, a solution of the $k$ independent shortest paths problem consists of paths that share neither an edge nor an…
The $k$ disjoint shortest paths problem ($k$-DSPP) on a graph with $k$ source-sink pairs $(s_i, t_i)$ asks for the existence of $k$ pairwise edge- or vertex-disjoint shortest $s_i$-$t_i$-paths. It is known to be NP-complete if $k$ is part…
Finding a shortest path in a graph is one of the most classic problems in algorithmic and graph theory. While we dispose of quite efficient algorithms for this ordinary problem (like the Dijkstra or Bellman-Ford algorithms), some slight…
