K-Shortest Simple Paths Using Biobjective Path Search

In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for the \emph{$k$-Shortest Simple Paths} (\kspp{k}) problem with an asymptotic running time matching the state of the art from the literature. It is based on a black-box algorithm due to \citet{Roditty12} that solves at most $2k$ instances of the \emph{Second Shortest Simple Path} (\kspp{2}) problem without specifying how this is done. We fill this gap using a novel approach: we turn the scalar \kspp{2} into instances of the Biobjective Shortest Path problem. Our experiments on grid graphs and on road networks show that the new algorithm is very efficient in practice.

New Dynamic Programming Algorithm for the Multiobjective Minimum Spanning Tree Problem

The Multiobjective Minimum Spanning Tree (MO-MST) problem is a variant of the Minimum Spanning Tree problem, in which the costs associated with every edge of the input graph are vectors. In this paper, we design a new dynamic programming MO-MST algorithm. Dynamic programming for a MO-MST instance leads to the definition of an instance of the One-to-One Multiobjective Shortest Path (MOSP) problem and both instances have equivalent solution sets. The arising MOSP instance is defined on a so called transition graph. We study the original size of this graph in detail and reduce its size using cost dependent arc pruning criteria. To solve the MOSP instance on the reduced transition graph, we design the Implicit Graph Multiobjective Dijkstra Algorithm (IG-MDA), exploiting recent improvements on MOSP algorithms from the literature. All in all, the new IG-MDA outperforms the current state of the art on a big set of instances from the literature. Our code and results are publicly available.

Targeted Multiobjective Dijkstra Algorithm

In this paper, we introduce the Targeted Multiobjective Dijkstra Algorithm (T-MDA), a label setting algorithm for the One-to-One Multiobjective Shortest Path (MOSP) Problem. The T-MDA is based on the recently published Multiobjective Dijkstra Algorithm (MDA) and equips it with A*-like techniques. The resulting speedup is comparable to the speedup that the original A* algorithm achieves for Dijkstra's algorithm. Unlike other methods from the literature, which rely on special properties of the biobjective case, the T-MDA works for any dimension. To the best of our knowledge, it gives rise to the first efficient implementation that can deal with large scale instances with more than two objectives. A version tuned for the biobjective case, the T-BDA, outperforms state-of-the-art methods on almost every instance of a standard benchmark testbed that is not solvable in fractions of a second.
