Given an undirected $n$-vertex graph and $k$ pairs of terminal vertices $(s_1,t_1), \ldots, (s_k,t_k)$, the $k$-Disjoint Shortest Paths ($k$-DSP)-problem asks whether there are $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ such that…
This paper is about the problem of finding a shortest $s$-$t$ path using at most $h$ edges in edge-weighted graphs. The Bellman--Ford algorithm solves this problem in $O(hm)$ time, where $m$ is the number of edges. We show that this running…

Finding maximum-weight independent sets in graphs is an important NP-hard optimization problem. Given a vertex-weighted graph $G$, the task is to find a subset of pairwise non-adjacent vertices of $G$ with maximum weight. Most recently…
This paper presents an adaptive amoeba algorithm to address the shortest path tree (SPT) problem in dynamic graphs. In dynamic graphs, the edge weight updates consists of three categories: edge weight increases, edge weight decreases, the…
We extend the well known bottleneck paths problem in two directions for directed unweighted (unit edge cost) graphs with positive real edge capacities. Firstly we narrow the problem domain and compute the bottleneck of the entire network in…
Very recently a new algorithm to the nonnegative single-source shortest path problem on road networks has been discovered. It is very cache-efficient, but only on static road networks. We show how to augment it to the time-dependent…

We obtain the first near-linear time deterministic algorithm for negative-weight single-source shortest paths on integer-weighted graphs. Our main ingredient is a deterministic construction of a padded decomposition on directed graphs,…
The Elementary Shortest-Path Problem(ESPP) seeks a minimum cost path from s to t that visits each vertex at most once. The presence of negative-cost cycles renders the problem NP-hard. We present a probabilistic method for finding…
In the pairwise weighted spanner problem, the input consists of an $n$-vertex-directed graph, where each edge is assigned a cost and a length. Given $k$ vertex pairs and a distance constraint for each pair, the goal is to find a…
The problem of finding multiple simple shortest paths in a weighted directed graph $G=(V,E)$ has many applications, and is considerably more difficult than the corresponding problem when cycles are allowed in the paths. Even for a single…
We revisit the classic problem of dynamically maintaining shortest paths between all pairs of nodes of a directed weighted graph. The allowed updates are insertions and deletions of nodes and their incident edges. We give worst-case…
We present a new deterministic algorithm for distributed weighted all pairs shortest paths (APSP) in both undirected and directed graphs. Our algorithm runs in $\tilde{O}(n^{4/3})$ rounds in the Congest models on graphs with arbitrary edge…
Quantum algorithms for several problems in graph theory are considered. Classical algorithms for finding the lowest weight path between two points in a graph and for finding a minimal weight spanning tree involve searching over some space.…
The shortest Disjoint Path problem (SDPP) requires us to find pairwise vertex disjoint paths between k designated pairs of terminal vertices such that the sum of the path lengths is minimum. The focus here is on SDPP restricted to planar…
