Abstract

We present a deterministic distributed algorithm to compute all-pairs shortest paths(APSP) in an edge-weighted directed or undirected graph. Our algorithm runs in O~(n3/2)\tilde{O}(n^{3/2}) rounds in the Congest model, where nn is the number of nodes in the graph. This is the first o(n2)o(n^2) rounds deterministic distributed algorithm for the weighted APSP problem. Our algorithm is fairly simple and incorporates a deterministic distributed algorithm we develop for computing a `blocker set' \cite{King99}, which has been used earlier in sequential dynamic computation of APSP.
