Example 4.1: Shortest Path Problem Whole pineapples are served in a restaurant in London. To ensure freshness, the pineapples are purchased in Hawaii and air freighted from Honolulu to Heathrow in ...

This paper considers a stochastic shortest path problem where the arc lengths are independent random variables following a normal distribution. In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes ...

The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a metaheuristic nature-inspired technique for solving various combinatorial optimization problems. The shortest-path problem is an important ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network ...
