Solving the replacement paths problem for planar directed graphs in O(logn) time

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

In a graph G with non-negative edge lengths, let P be a shortest path from a vertex s to a vertex t. We consider the problem of computing, for each edge e on P, the length of a shortest path in G from s to t that avoids e. This is known as the replacement paths problem. We give a linearspace algorithm with O(n log n) running time for n-vertex planar directed graphs. The previous best time bound was O(n log2 n).
