Title
Finding next-to-shortest paths in a graph
Abstract
We study the problem of finding the next-to-shortest paths in a graph. A next-to-shortest (u,v)-path is a shortest (u,v)-path amongst (u,v)-paths with length strictly greater than the length of the shortest (u,v)-path. In contrast to the situation in directed graphs, where the problem has been shown to be NP-hard, providing edges of length zero are allowed, we prove the somewhat surprising result that there is a polynomial time algorithm for the undirected version of the problem.
