I'm working on applying graphing algorithms to a possibly non-standard application. I have graphs that are linked together and am trying to find the top K shortest node-disjoint paths through them. Hopefully I can explain this: As an example, say I have two fairly simple graphs with a sta...
Shortest Path Algorithms Problems Tutorial The shortest path problem is about finding a path between2vertices in a graph such that the total sum of the edges weights is minimum. This problem could be solved easily using(BFS)if all edge weights were (1), but here weights can take any value...
We now present two algorithms for finding shortest paths in a weighted graph. For simplicity, we will find the distances rather than the paths themselves. Both algorithms use dynamic programming (Section 9.5). Dijkstra's single-source algorithm determines the distances from one vertex to all others...
Reconfiguring two shortest paths in a graph means modifying one shortest path to the other by changing one vertex at a time so that all the intermediate paths are also shortest paths. This problem has several natural applications, namely: (a) repaving road networks, (b) rerouting data packets...

“shortest path” between two nodes,sandt, in a graph whose edges have “weights” associated with them, and we consider the “length” of a path to be the sum of the weights of the edges that comprise it. Efficient algorithms are well known for this problem, as briefly summarized below...
Optimally fast shortest path algorithms for some classes of graphsG 2.2F 2.2Two algorithms for shortest path problems are presented. One is to find the all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) that runs in O(n 2logn + nm) time for n-vertex m-edge directed graphs consisting of strongly connected ...
On the Structure of Unique Shortest Paths in Graphs 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 gr....
Traditional shortest-path algorithms assume that the problem graph representation can be completely stored in machine memory, typically in a matrix or adjacency list. For large graphs—for example, graphs representing social networks—this approach often isn’t feasible. Large graphs can be conveniently...
To address this problem, dynamic algorithm that computes the shortest-path in response to updates is in demand. In this paper, we focus on dynamic algorithms for shortest point-to-point paths computation in directed graphs with positive edge weights. We develop novel algorithms to handle the ...
