More algorithms for all-pairs shortest paths in weighted graphs

Abstract

In the first part of the paper, we reexamine the all-pairsshortest paths (APSP) problem and present a newalgorithm with running time approaching O(n3/log2n), which improves all known algorithms for general real-weighted dense graphs andis perhaps close to the best result possible without using fast matrix multiplication, modulo a few log log n factors.
