Shortest Paths in Nearly Conservative Digraphs
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce the following notion: a digraph D = (V,A) with arc weights c : A → R is called nearly conservative if every negative cycle consists of two arcs. Computing shortest paths in nearly conservative digraphs is NP-hard, and even deciding whether a digraph is nearly conservative is coNP-complete. We show that the “All Pairs Shortest Path” problem is fixed parameter tractable with various parameters for nearly conservative digraphs. The results also apply for the special case of conservative mixed graphs.

Shortest paths in mixed graphs and nearly conservative digraphs
Finding shortest paths in mixed graphs is NP-hard even when the weighting is conservative. We give an FPT algorithm for this problem, where the parameter k is the number of “negative trees”. We may always assume that the undirected edges have negative weights, and in a conservative weighting they form some trees – these trees are called the negative trees. Our algorithm extends to mixed graphs ...
متن کاملFast Algorithms for Maintaining Shortest Paths in Outerplanar and Planar Digraphs
We present algorithms for maintaining shortest path information in dynamic outerplanar digraphs with sublogarithmic query time. By choosing appropriate parameters we achieve continuous trade-offs between the preprocessing, query, and update times. Our data structure is based on a recursive separator decomposition of the graph and it encodes the shortest paths between the members of a properly c...
متن کاملLabeled Shortest Paths
This paper gives a shortest path algorithm for CFG (context free grammar) labeled and weighted digraphs where edge weights may be positive or negative, but negative-weight cycles are not allowed in the underlying unlabled graph. These results build directly on an algorithm of Barrett, Jacob, and Marathe [1]. In addition to many other results, they gave a shortest path algorithm for CFG labeled ...

متن کاملOn-line and Dynamic Shortest Paths through Graph Decompositions
We describe algorithms for finding shortest paths and distances in a planar digraph which exploit the particular topology of the input graph. We give both sequential and parallel algorithms that work on a dynamic environment, where the cost of any edge can be changed or the edge can be deleted. For outerplanar digraphs, for instance, the data structures can be updated after any such change in o...
