We consider the k-outconnected directed Steiner tree problem (k-DST). Given a directed edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, where $V=\{r\}\cup S \cup T$, and an integer $k$, the goal is to find a minimum cost subgraph of $G$ in which there are…
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…
