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…
The Beeping Network (BN) model captures important properties of biological processes. Paradoxically, the extremely limited communication capabilities of such nodes has helped BN become one of the fundamental models for networks. Since in…
Querying the shortest path between two vertexes is a fundamental operation in a variety of applications, which has been extensively studied over static road networks. However, in reality, the travel costs of road segments evolve over time,…
A localized method to distribute paths on random graphs is devised, aimed at finding the shortest paths between given source/destination pairs while avoiding path overlaps at nodes. We propose a method based on message-passing techniques to…
It is a critical issue to compute the shortest paths between nodes in networks. Exact algorithms for shortest paths are usually inapplicable for large scale networks due to the high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a…
In most of the shortest path problems like vehicle routing problems and network routing problems, we only need an efficient path between two points source and destination, and it is not necessary to calculate the shortest path from source…
The approximate single-source shortest-path problem is as follows: given a graph with nonnegative edge weights and a designated source vertex $s$, return estimates of the distances from~$s$ to each other vertex such that the estimate falls…
We formulate and study the thinnest path problem in wireless ad hoc networks. The objective is to find a path from a source to its destination that results in the minimum number of nodes overhearing the message by a judicious choice of…
A hypergraph is a set V of vertices and a set of non-empty subsets of V, called hyperedges. Unlike graphs, hypergraphs can capture higher-order interactions in social and communication networks that go beyond a simple union of pairwise…
This paper presents near-optimal deterministic parallel and distributed algorithms for computing $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate single-source shortest paths in any undirected weighted graph. On a high level, we deterministically reduce this…
A common way to accelerate shortest path algorithms on graphs is the use of a bidirectional search, which simultaneously explores the graph from the start and the destination. It has been observed recently that this strategy performs…
Let G be a directed graph with n vertices and non-negative weights in its directed edges, embedded on a surface of genus g, and let f be an arbitrary face of G. We describe a randomized algorithm to preprocess the graph in O(gn log n) time…
We consider the distributed and parallel construction of low-diameter decompositions with strong diameter for (weighted) graphs and (weighted) graphs that can be separated through $k \in \tilde{O}(1)$ shortest paths. This class of graphs…
Hyperbolicity is a graph parameter which indicates how much the shortest-path distance metric of a graph deviates from a tree metric. It is used in various fields such as networking, security, and bioinformatics for the classification of…
In the classic Minimum Bisection problem we are given as input a graph $G$ and an integer $k$. The task is to determine whether there is a partition of $V(G)$ into two parts $A$ and $B$ such that $||A|-|B|| \leq 1$ and there are at most $k$…
We develop an efficient parallel algorithm for answering shortest-path queries in planar graphs and implement it on a multi-node CPU/GPU clusters. The algorithm uses a divide-and-conquer approach for decomposing the input graph into small…
In this paper, we study the computation of shortest paths within the \emph{geometric amoebot model}, a commonly used model for programmable matter. Shortest paths are essential for various tasks and therefore have been heavily investigated…
We describe a distributed randomized algorithm computing approximate distances and routes that approximate shortest paths. Let n denote the number of nodes in the graph, and let HD denote the hop diameter of the graph, i.e., the diameter of…
A good computer network is hard to disrupt. It is desired that the computer communication network remains connected even when some of the links or nodes fail. Since the communication links are expensive, one wants to achieve these goals…
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.…
