Abstract: We consider the problem of computing all-pairs shortest paths in a directed graph with real weights assigned to vertices. For an nimesn 0-1 matrix C, let KC be the complete weighted graph on the rows of C where the weight of an edge between two rows is equal to their Hamming distance. Let MWT(C) be the weight of a minimum weight spanning tree of KC. We show that the all-pairs shortest path problem for a directed graph G on n vertices with nonnegative real weights and adjacency matrix AG can be solved by a combinatorial randomized algorithm in time widetilde{O}(n^{2}sqrt {n + min{MWT(A_G), MWT(A_G^t)}}) As a corollary, we conclude that the transitive closure of a directed graph G can be computed by a combinatorial randomized algorithm in the aforementioned time. widetildeO(n2sqrtn+minMWT(AG),MWT(AGt)) We also conclude that the all-pairs shortest path problem for uniform disk graphs, with nonnegative real vertex weights, induced by point sets of bounded density within a unit square can be solved in time widetildeO(n2.75).
