| US8478527B2 CLAIM 1 .

Undirected Single Source Shortest Paths In Linear Time . The single source shortest paths problem (SSSP) is one of the classic problems in algorithmic graph theory : given a weighted graph G with a source vertex s , find the shortest path from s to all other vertices in the graph . Since 1959 all theoretical developments in SSSP have been based on Dijkstra's algorithm , visiting the vertices in order of increasing distance from s . Thus , any implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm sorts the vertices according to their distances from s . However , we do not Know how to sort in linear time . Here , a deterministic linear tame and line (relative distance, computing distance) ar space algorithm is presented for the undirected single source shortest paths problem with integer weights . The algorithm avoids the sorting bottle-neck by building a hierechical bucketing structure , identifying vertex pairs that may be visited in any order . |
