Exact Geodesics and Shortest Paths on Polyhedral Surfaces

We present two algorithms for computing distances along convex and non-convex polyhedral surfaces. The first algorithm computes exact minimal-geodesic distances and the second algorithm combines these distances to compute exact shortest-path distances along the surface. Both algorithms have been extended to compute the exact minimal-geodesic paths and shortest paths. These algorithms have been implemented and validated on surfaces for which the correct solutions are known, in order to verify the accuracy and to measure the run-time performance, which is cubic or less for each algorithm. The exact-distance computations carried out by these algorithms are feasible for large-scale surfaces containing tens of thousands of vertices, and are a necessary component of near-isometric surface flattening methods that accurately transform curved manifolds into flat representations.

一种基于离散变权网络的动态最短路径快速算法

在离散变权动态网络中,求解最短路径的最优化算法的计算复杂性通常远大于O(n2),不适用于实时的动态交通信息导航系统。提出的动态最短路径快速算法,是在所有的当前点与下一个待选点之间以及待选点与目标点之间的动态弧的权值之和中选择一个最小值,然后把该待选点作为当前点继续选择下一个待选点,如此反复,直到达到目标点为止。该算法所得到的路径是一个次优解,但其执行时间却比寻找最优解算法要小得多,并且所得到的解要优于选择最短距离路径的动态解。实验结果证明这是一种适用于动态交通导航的有效算法。

最短路问题的Floyd改进算法

目前在不含负回路的网络中,对于求解任意两节点之间最短路问题的方法有很多,Floyd算法是最经典的算法之一,但随着节点数量的增加,重复的计算量也随之增大,从而降低了计算效率。为此,文中通过迭代矩阵和下标标注法对Floyd算法进行了改进,改进后的算法既能快速地计算出网络中任意两节点之间的最短路长值,又能更直观地找出最短路径。通过具体实例分析表明,Floyd改进算法减少了重复计算,简化了路径标注方法,提高了计算效率。     

Improved Algorithms for Dynamic Shortest Paths

We describe algorithms for finding shortest paths and distances in outerplanar and planar digraphs that exploit the particular topology of the input graph. An important feature of our algorithms is that they can work in a dynamic environment, where the cost of any edge can be changed or the edge can be deleted. In the case of outerplanar digraphs, our data structures can be updated after any such change in only logarithmic time. A distance query is also answered in logarithmic time. In the case of planar digraphs, we give an interesting tradeoff between preprocessing, query, and update times depending on the value of a certain topological parameter of the graph. Our results can be extended to n -vertex digraphs of genus O(n ^1-ε ) for any ε>0 . Received September 24, 1996; revised May 13, 1998, and January 20, 1999.

Multiobjective Optimization: Improved FPTAS for Shortest Paths and Non-Linear Objectives with Applications

We provide an improved FPTAS for multiobjective shortest paths—a fundamental (NP-hard) problem in multiobjective optimization—along with a new generic method for obtaining FPTAS to any multiobjective optimization problem with non-linear objectives. We show how these results can be used to obtain better approximate solutions to three related problems, multiobjective constrained [optimal] path and non-additive shortest path, that have important applications in QoS routing and in traffic optimization. We also show how to obtain a FPTAS to a natural generalization of the weighted multicommodity flow problem with elastic demands and values that models several realistic scenarios in transportation and communication networks.

A Branch-Checking Algorithm for All-Pairs Shortest Paths

We formulate and study an algorithm for all-pairs shortest paths in a network with $n $ nodes and $m $ arcs of positive length. Using the dynamic programming principle of optimality of subpaths the algorithm avoids redundant updates of distance labels. A shortest $v$--$w$ path, say $\langle v, r_{1} , r_{2} , \ldots , r_{k } = w \rangle$ with $k $ arcs ($k \geq 1$), is only then combined with an arc $(w,t) \in A$ to update the distance label of pair $v$--$t$, if $(w,t) $ is present on the shortest $r_{\ell } $--$ t$ path for each node $r_{\ell}$ $(\ell=k- 1 , k- 2, \ldots, 1) $. The algorithm extracts shortest paths in order of length from a data structure and builds two shortest path trees per node, an extra effort of $O(n^{2})$. This way it can execute efficiently only the aforementioned distance updates, by picking the arcs $(w,t)$ out of these trees. The time complexity order per distance update and path extraction is similar as in other algorithms. An implementation with a data structure of heaps is possible, but a bucket-type data structure may be more appropriate. The implied number of distance updates does not exceed $nm_{0}$ ($m_{0}$ being the total number of shortest path arcs), but is frequently much lower. In extreme cases the new algorithm applies $O(n^{2})$ distance updates, whereas known algorithms require $\Omega( n ^{3})$ updates. The algorithm is especially suited for undirected graphs; here the construction of one tree per node is sufficient and the computation times halve.     

A Fully Dynamic Approximation Scheme for Shortest Paths in Planar Graphs

In this paper we give a fully dynamic approximation scheme for maintaining all-pairs shortest paths in planar networks. Given an error parameter such that , our algorithm maintains approximate all-pairs shortest paths in an undirected planar graph G with nonnegative edge lengths. The approximate paths are guaranteed to be accurate to within a 1+ factor. The time bounds for both query and update for our algorithm is O( ^-1 n ^2/3 log ² n log D) , where n is the number of nodes in G and D is the sum of its edge lengths. The time bound for the queries is worst case, while that for the additions is amortized. Our approximation algorithm is based upon a novel technique for approximately representing all-pairs shortest paths among a selected subset of the nodes by a sparse substitute graph.
