provided an algorithm for unsorted output of length limited shortest paths
Feb 25, 2016 at 7:43 comment added Manfred Weis @usul the overhead doesn't come from duplicated work, but rather by evenly growing the shortest path trees according to distance; so the algorithm simulates throwing n stones simultaneously into the water instead to one by one as is ordinarily done when calculating the APSP for sparse graphs by repeated application of the Dijkstra algorithm for each node.
Feb 24, 2016 at 10:29 comment added Manfred Weis @usul Without further information not much can be said; if you know an upper bound for the shortest path you are interested in and if you know,that the triangle inequality may be violated, then you can filter out all edges that are longer, before actually calculating the paths. It is probably as with sorting: if you have information about the number of inversion you can use a specialized algorithm that will perform poor in the worst case. The same applies to this problem.
Feb 24, 2016 at 8:38 comment added usul That's an interesting solution but what can we say anything about the performance? I'm worried about duplicating a lot of work.
