We consider n points (nodes), some or all pairs of which are connected by a branch; the length of each branch is given. We restrict ourselves to the case where at least one path exists between any two nodes. We now consider two problems. Problem 1. Constrnct the tree of minimum total length between the n nodes. (A tree is a graph with one and only one path between every two nodes.) In the course of the construction that we present here, the branches are subdivided into three sets: I. the… Expand

The shortest-path problem for graphs with random arc-lengths
We consider the problem of finding the shortest distance between all pairs of vertices in a complete digraph on n vertices, whose arc-lengths are non-negative random variables. We describe an… Expand

TLDR
This work presents the following algorithms for exactly solving the AlI Pairs Lightest Shortest Paths (APLSP) problem for directed graphs with integer weights of small absolute value, and presents results obtained recently by the author for the APSP problem. Expand
Shortest Shortest Path Trees of a Network
TLDR
This work presents an O(mn log n) algorithm to find a shortest shortest path tree, and gives an algorithm with the same complexity to determine a maximum set of non-equivalent efficient points of N for the two criteria cited above. Expand
Shortest Path Problems with Time Constraints
TLDR
A new version of the shortest path problem is studied, where all transit times b(e, u) are positive integers and zero waiting times are assumed, namely, waiting at any vertex is strictly prohibited. Expand
Some Extensions of the Bottleneck Paths Problem
TLDR
This work presents a combinatorial algorithm to solve the Single Source Shortest Paths for All Flows (SSSP-AF) problem in O(mn) worst case time, followed by an algorithm to solved the All Pairs Shortest paths for all Fl flows (APSP-af) problemIn \(O(\sqrt{t}n^{(\omega+9)/4})\) time. Expand

TLDR
This work considers a shortest path problem for a directed graph with edges labeled with a cost and a capacity, and gives a simple Floyd-like algorithm with complexity O ( min ⁡ { t, c n } n 3 ) , better than the best known O ( t c 1.843 n 2.2) for certain ranges of t and c. Expand
Sharing Information in All Pairs Shortest Path Algorithms
TLDR
Two improvements on time complexities of the all pairs shortest path (APSP) problem for directed graphs that satisfy certain properties are shown and a nearly acyclic graph is considered. Expand
Variations on the bottleneck paths problem
TLDR
This work presents a combinatorial algorithm to solve the Single Source SP-AF problem in O ( m n ) worst case time, followed by an algorithm to solved the All Pairs SP-af problem in T ( t n ( ω + 9 ) / 4 ) time, where t is the number of distinct edge capacities and O ( n ω ) is the time taken to multiply two n-by-n matrices over a ring.

On Shortest Disjoint Paths in Planar Graphs
TLDR
This work extends recent results by Colin de Verdiere and Schrijver to prove that, for a planar graph and for terminals adjacent to at most two faces, the Min-Sum 2 Disjoint Paths Problem can be solved in polynomial time and presents an algorithm that solves the problem for graphs with tree-width 2 in polynnomial time.

TLDR
The all pairs shortest path (APSP) problem can be solved in O(mn+n^2log(c/n) time with the data structure of cascading bucket system, and the traditional computational model such that comparison-addition operations on distance data and random access with O(logn) bits can be done in O (1) time.
