The problem of finding the shortest path in a graph G(V, E) has been widely studied. However, in many applications it is necessary to compute an arbitrary number of them, k. Even though the problem has raised a lot of interest from…
In this paper we propose a linear-time certifying algorithm for the single-source shortest-path problem capable of verifying graphs with positive, negative, and zero arc weights. Previously proposed linear-time approaches only work for…
A set $S$ of isometric paths of a graph $G$ is ``$v$-rooted'', where $v$ is a vertex of $G$, if $v$ is one of the endpoints of all the isometric paths in $S$. The isometric path complexity of a graph $G$, denoted by $ipco{G}$, is the…

Connectivity (or equivalently, unweighted maximum flow) is an important measure in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Given a graph $G$ with vertices $s$ and $t$, the connectivity $\lambda(s,t)$ from $s$ to $t$ is defined to be…
The vertex connectivity of a graph $G$ is the size of the smallest set of vertices $S$ such that $G \setminus S$ is disconnected. For the class of planar graphs, the problem of vertex connectivity is well-studied, both from structural and…
The Shortest Path Reconfiguration problem has as input a graph G (with unit edge lengths) with vertices s and t, and two shortest st-paths P and Q. The question is whether there exists a sequence of shortest st-paths that starts with P and…
Given a graph and a pair of terminals $s$, $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem asks for an $s\!\to \!t$ (simple) path that is shortest among all not shortest $s\!\to \!t$ paths (if one exists). This problem was introduced in 1996, and…
For a graph $G$ and $a,b\in V(G)$, the shortest path reconfiguration graph of $G$ with respect to $a$ and $b$ is denoted by $S(G,a,b)$. The vertex set of $S(G,a,b)$ is the set of all shortest paths between $a$ and $b$ in $G$. Two vertices…
We give a polynomial-time algorithm that, with input a graph $G$ and two vertices $u,v$ of $G$, decides whether there is an induced $uv$-path that is longer than the shortest $uv$-path.
We study the SHORTEST PATH problem with positive disjunctive constraints from the perspective of parameterized complexity. For positive disjunctive constraints, there are certain pair of edges such that any feasible solution must contain at…
We study the knapsack problem with graph theoretic constraints. That is, we assume that there exists a graph structure on the set of items of knapsack and the solution also needs to satisfy certain graph theoretic properties on top of…
This paper develops a structural theory of unique shortest paths in real-weighted graphs. Our main goal is to characterize exactly which sets of node sequences, which we call path systems, can be realized as unique shortest paths in a graph…
We consider the following problem that we call the Shortest Two Disjoint Paths problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge weights $w:E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, two terminals $s$ and $t$ in $G$, find two internally…
The \textit{longest path transversal number} of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $lpt(G)$, is the minimum size of a set of vertices of $G$ that intersects all longest paths in $G$. We present constant upper bounds for the longest path…
The Restricted Shortest Path (RSP) problem, also known as the Delay-Constrained Least-Cost (DCLC) problem, is an NP-hard bicriteria optimization problem on graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In a graph where each edge is assigned a…

In this work, we follow the current trend on temporal graph realization, where one is given a property P and the goal is to determine whether there is a temporal graph, that is, a graph where the edge set changes over time, with property P…
In this paper, we reduce the logspace shortest path problem to biconnected graphs; in particular, we present a logspace shortest path algorithm for general graphs which uses a logspace shortest path oracle for biconnected graphs. We also…
