Abstract
We consider the problem of computing all-pairs shortest paths in a directed graph with non-negative real weights assigned to vertices. For an n x n 0 - 1 matrix C, let K-C be the complete weighted graph on the rows of C where the weight of an edge between two rows is equal to their Hamming distance. Let MWT(C) be the weight of a minimum weight spanning tree of K-C. We show that the all-pairs shortest path problem for a directed graph G on n vertices with non-negative real weights and adjacency matrix A(G) can be solved by a combinatorial randomized algorithm in time(1). (O) over tilde (n(2)root n + min{MWT(A(G)), MWT (A(G)(t))}) As a corollary, we conclude that the transitive closure of a directed graph G can be computed by a combinatorial... (More)

We also conclude that the all-pairs shortest path problem for vertex-weighted uniform disk graphs induced by point sets of bounded density within a unit square can be solved in time (O) over tilde (n(2.75)).
