Given a directed edge-weighted graph $G=(V, E)$ with beer vertices $B\subseteq V$, a beer path between two vertices $u$ and $v$ is a path between $u$ and $v$ that visits at least one beer vertex in $B$, and the beer distance between two…

A \emph{beer graph} is an undirected graph $G$, in which each edge has a positive weight and some vertices have a beer store. A \emph{beer path} between two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is any path in $G$ between $u$ and $v$ that visits at…

We present two new and efficient algorithms for computing all-pairs shortest paths. The algorithms operate on directed graphs with real (possibly negative) weights. They make use of directed path consistency along a vertex ordering d. Both…
