Open AccessOn Short Paths Interdiction Problems: Total and Node-Wise Limited Interdiction
Given a directed graph G=(V,A) with a non-negative weight (length) function on its arcs w:A→ℝ+ and two terminals s,t∈V, our goal is to destroy all short directed paths from s to t in G by eliminating some arcs o...

Extending Dijkstra’s Algorithm to Maximize the Shortest Path by Node-Wise Limited Arc Interdiction
We consider the problem of computing shortest paths in a directed arc-weighted graph G = (V,A) in the presence of an adversary that can block (interdict), for each vertex v ∈ V, a given number p(v) of the arcs A ...
