Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
We present an approximation algorithm for the all pairs shortest paths (APSP) problem in weighed graphs. ...
Hence, if ω = 2+o(1), this algorithm is as fast as any algorithm known for integer APSP in directed graphs, and is more general. ...
In the shortest paths problem we are given a (possibly weighted, possibly directed) graph G = (V , E) and a set S ⊂ V × V of pairs of vertices, and are required to find distances and shortest paths connecting ...
