Finding the k Shortest Paths

TL;DR: K shortest paths are given for finding the k shortest paths connecting a pair of vertices in a digraph, and applications to dynamic programming problems including the knapsack problem, sequence alignment, maximum inscribed polygons, and genealogical relationship discovery are described.

Bicriterion Path Problems

Pierre Hansen
TL;DR: Algorithms are provided for some of the bicriterion path problems in directed graphs, including polynomial algorithms for the MAXMIN-MAXMIN problem and the MINSUM-MAX MIN problem, and a pseudo-polynomial exact algorithm as well as a fullyPolynomial approximation scheme for the MINsUM-MINSUM problem.

Lexicographic products in metarouting

TL;DR: This work characterize exactly when lexicographic products can be used to define well-behaved routing protocols, and shows that in some cases this type of local autonomy is fully compatible with global optimality.

Regular Algebra Applied to Path-finding Problems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an algebra for extremal path problems, which is a generalization of the algebra of regular languages, and show that it can be used for path enumeration problems.

Iterative methods for determining the k shortest paths in a network

TL;DR: On the basis of both theoretical and computational evidence, one of the three methods is seen to offer an extremely effective procedure for finding the k shortest paths from a given node in a network.
