The Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) problem is as follows. An $n$-vertex graph is given, each edge/arc assigned two weights. Let us call them "cost" and "length" for definiteness. Finding a min-cost upper-bounded length path between a given…

Let $V$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. The unit-disk graph $G = (V, E)$ has vertex set $V$ and an edge $e_{uv} \in E$ between vertices $u, v \in V$ if the Euclidean distance between $u$ and $v$ is at most 1. The weight of each edge…
