β¦ Synopsis
The task of finding shortest paths in weighted graphs is one of the archetypical problems encountered in the domain of combinatorial optimization and has been studied intensively over the past five decades. More recently, fuzzy weighted graphs, along with generalizations of algorithms for finding optimal paths within them, have emerged as an adequate modeling tool for prohibitively complex and/or inherently imprecise systems. We review and formalize these algorithms, paying special attention to the ranking methods used for path comparison. We show which criteria must be met for algorithm correctness and present an efficient method, based on defuzzification of fuzzy weights, for finding optimal paths.

We give a linear-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths in planar graphs with nonnegative edge-lengths. Our algorithm also yields a linear-time algorithm for maximum flow in a planar graph with the source and sink on the same face. For the case where negative edge-lengths are allowed, we gi
Let (G, w ) denote a simple graph G with a weight function w : β¬(G) -{0,1,2}. A path cover of (G, w ) is a collection of paths in G such that every edge e is contained in exactly w(e) paths of the collection. For a vertex u , w ( v ) is the sum of the weights of the edges incident with U ; U is call
We present an algorithm, APD, that solves the distance version of the all-pairs-shortest-path problem for undirected, unweighted \(n\)-vertex graphs in time \(O(M(n) \log n)\), where \(M(n)\) denotes the time necessary to multiply two \(n \times n\) matrices of small integers (which is currently kno
