The textbook algorithm for single-source shortest paths with real-valued edge weights runs in $O(m n)$ time on a graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices. A recent breakthrough algorithm by Fineman [Fin24] takes $\tilde O(m n^{8/9})$…

In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…

We study problems of reconfiguration of shortest paths in graphs. We prove that the shortest reconfiguration sequence can be exponential in the size of the graph and that it is NP-hard to compute the shortest reconfiguration sequence even…
