Our objective is to sample the node set of a large unknown graph via crawling, to accurately estimate a given metric of interest. We design a random walk on an appropriately defined weighted graph that achieves high efficiency by…

To find a shortest path between two nodes $s_0$ and $s_1$ in a given graph, a classical approach is to start a Breadth-First Search (BFS) from $s_0$ and run it until the search discovers $s_1$. Alternatively, one can start two Breadth-First…

In most of the shortest path problems like vehicle routing problems and network routing problems, we only need an efficient path between two points source and destination, and it is not necessary to calculate the shortest path from source…

Determining the crossing numbers of Cartesian products of small graphs with arbitrarily large paths has been an ongoing topic of research since the 1970s. Doing so requires the establishment of coincident upper and lower bounds; the former…

Some of the most fundamental and well-studied graph parameters are the Diameter (the largest shortest paths distance) and Radius (the smallest distance for which a "center" node can reach all other nodes). The natural and important…

Paths planned over grids can often be suboptimal in an Euclidean space and contain a large number of unnecessary turns. Consequently, researchers have looked into post-processing techniques to improve the paths after they are planned. In…

This introduction to graphs and graph algebras provides the optimal bound for the number of all paths of length $k$ in a graph with $N\geq k$ edges and no loops. Our proof relies on a construction of a number of terminating algorithms that…

Utilizing graph algorithms is a common activity in computer science. Algorithms that perform computations on large graphs are not always efficient. This work investigates the Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem, which is considered…

We give an algorithm that takes a directed graph $G$ undergoing $m$ edge insertions with lengths in $[1, W]$, and maintains $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate shortest path distances from a fixed source $s$ to all other vertices. The algorithm is…

We study the Short Path Packing problem which asks, given a graph $G$, integers $k$ and $\ell$, and vertices $s$ and $t$, whether there exist $k$ pairwise internally vertex-disjoint $s$-$t$ paths of length at most $\ell$. The problem has…

Navigational queries for graph-structured data, such as the regular path queries and the context-free path queries, are usually evaluated to a relation of node-pairs $(m, n)$ such that there is a path from $m$ to $n$ satisfying the…

This paper deals with the problem of finding a collection of vertex-disjoint paths in a given graph G=(V,E) such that each path has at least four vertices and the total number of vertices in these paths is maximized. The problem is NP-hard…

The graph-navigability problem concerns how one can find as short paths as possible between a pair of vertices, given an incomplete picture of a graph. We study the navigability of graphs where the vertices are tagged by a number (between 1…

Among the several topological properties of complex networks, the shortest path represents a particularly important characteristic because of its potential impact not only on other topological properties, but mainly for its influence on…

Given a weighted $n$-vertex graph $G$ with integer edge-weights taken from a range $[-M,M]$, we show that the minimum-weight simple path visiting $k$ vertices can be found in time $\tilde{O}(2^k \poly(k) M n^\omega) = O^*(2^k M)$. If the…

The Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem is well-known for the challenges in developing fast, practical, and work-efficient parallel algorithms. This work introduces a novel shortest path search method. It allows paths with different…

The widespread use of graph data in various applications and the highly dynamic nature of today's networks have made it imperative to analyze structural trends in dynamic graphs on a continual basis. The shortest path is a fundamental…

For a connected graph $G = (V, E)$ and $s, t \in V$, a non-separating $s$-$t$ path is a path $P$ between $s$ and $t$ such that the set of vertices of $P$ does not separate $G$, that is, $G - V(P)$ is connected. An $s$-$t$ path is…

The minimal path method has proven to be particularly useful and efficient in tubular structure segmentation applications. In this paper, we propose a new minimal path model associated with a dynamic Riemannian metric embedded with an…

Consider a vertex-weighted graph $G$ with a source $s$ and a target $t$. Tracking Paths requires finding a minimum weight set of vertices (trackers) such that the sequence of trackers in each path from $s$ to $t$ is unique. In this work, we…
