It is a major open problem whether the $(\min,+)$-product of two $n\times n$ matrices has a truly sub-cubic (i.e. $O(n^{3-\epsilon})$ for $\epsilon>0$) time algorithm, in particular since it is equivalent to the famous…

One of the most basic graph problems, All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) is known to be solvable in $n^{3-o(1)}$ time, and it is widely open whether it has an $O(n^{3-\epsilon})$ time algorithm for $\epsilon > 0$. To better understand APSP,…
