A variant of the well-known Shortest Path Problem is studied in this paper, where pairs of conflicting arcs are provided, and for each conflicting pair a penalty is paid once neither or both of the arcs are selected. This configures a set…

For a connected graph $G = (V, E)$ and $s, t \in V$, a non-separating $s$-$t$ path is a path $P$ between $s$ and $t$ such that the set of vertices of $P$ does not separate $G$, that is, $G - V(P)$ is connected. An $s$-$t$ path is…
