Abstract

In this work we revisit the fundamental Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem with possibly negative edge weights. A recent breakthrough result by Bernstein, Nanongkai and Wulff-Nilsen established a near-linear O(m log^8(n)log(W))- time algorithm for negative-weight SSSP, where W is an upper bound on the magnitude of the smallest negative-weight edge. In this work we improve the running time to O(m log^2(n) log(nW) log log n), which is an improvement by nearly six log-factors.


Joint work with Karl Bringmann and Nick Fischer. The paper can be found in https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.05279 and will appear in FOCS '23.
