Successive shortest paths in complete graphs with random edge weights

Abstract:

Consider a complete graph Kn with edge weights drawn independently from a uniform distribution U(0, 1). The weight of the shortest (minimum-weight) path P1 between two given vertices is known to be ln n/n, asymptotically. Define a second-shortest path P2 to be the shortest path edge-disjoint from P1, and consider more generally the shortest path Pk edge-disjoint from all earlier paths. We show that the cost Xk of Pk converges in probability to 2k/n+ ln n/n uniformly for all k ≤ n−1. We show a...
