Abstract

Shortest path problems find applications in a variety of areas incl. computational geometry, robotics, and GIS. Many interesting shortest path problems in particular weighted scenarios and/or in 3-d, have high time complexities or are NP-hard. Thus approximation algorithms are of interest. We give several practical algorithms with provable bounds on approximation accuracy.
