As it follows from G\"odel's incompleteness theorems, any consistent formal system of axioms and rules of inference should imply a true unprovable statement. Actually, this fundamental principle can be efficiently applicable in…

The Shortest Paths Problem (SPP) is no longer unresolved. Just for a large scalar of instance on this problem, even we cannot know if an algorithm achieves the computing. Those cutting-edge methods are still in the low performance. If we go…
