He Shortest Path Problem

The Shortest-Path Problem

Many applications in different domains need to calculate the shortest-path between two points in a graph. In this paper we describe this shortest path problem in detail, starting with the classic Dijkstra's algorithm and moving to more advanced solutions that are currently applied to road network routing, including the use of heuristics and precomputation techniques. Since several of these improvements involve subtle changes to the search space, it may be difficult to appreciate their benefits in terms of time or space requirements. To make methods more comprehensive and to facilitate their comparison, this book presents a single case study that serves as a common benchmark. The paper also compares the search spaces explored by the methods described, both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, and including an analysis of the number of reached and settled nodes by different methods for a particular topology.

The Shortest Path Problem

The shortest path problem in interval valued trapezoidal and triangular neutrosophic environment

Real-life decision-making problem has been demonstrated to cover the indeterminacy through single valued neutrosophic set. It is the extension of interval valued neutrosophic set. Most of the problems of real life involve some sort of uncertainty in it among which, one of the famous problem is finding a shortest path of the network. In this paper, a new score function is proposed for interval valued neutrosophic numbers and SPP is solved using interval valued neutrosophic numbers. Additionally, novel algorithms are proposed to find the neutrosophic shortest path by considering interval valued neutrosophic number, trapezoidal and triangular interval valued neutrosophic numbers for the length of the path in a network with illustrative example. Further, comparative analysis has been done for the proposed algorithm with the existing method with the shortcoming and advantage of the proposed method and it shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
