Shortest Paths in Nearly Conservative Digraphs

Year: 2014
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: We introduce the following notion: a digraph $D=(V,A)$ with arc weights $c: A\rightarrow \R$ is called nearly conservative if every negative cycle consists of two arcs. Computing shortest paths in nearly conservative digraphs is NP-hard, and even deciding whether a digraph is nearly conservative is coNP-complete. We show that the "All Pairs Shortest Path" problem is fixed parameter tractable with various parameters for nearly conservative digraphs. The results also apply for the special case of conservative mixed graphs.
