Computing a shortest path between two nodes in an undirected unweighted graph is among the most basic algorithmic tasks. Breadth first search solves this problem in linear time, which is clearly also a lower bound in the worst case.…

Given a graph and a pair of terminals $s$, $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem asks for an $s\!\to \!t$ (simple) path that is shortest among all not shortest $s\!\to \!t$ paths (if one exists). This problem was introduced in 1996, and…
We study an ancient problem that in a static or dynamical system, sought an optimal path, which the context always means within an extremal condition. In fact, through those discussions about this theme, we established a universal essential…

We consider a problem of localizing a path-signal that evolves over time on a graph. A path-signal can be viewed as the trajectory of a moving agent on a graph in several consecutive time points. Combining dynamic programming and graph…
The shortest path problem in graphs is fundamental to AI. Nearly all variants of the problem and relevant algorithms that solve them ignore edge-weight computation time and its common relation to weight uncertainty. This implies that taking…
