Consider an edge-weighted digraph G with distinct and positive edge weights, a source vertex s, and a destination vertex t. Assume that G contains at least 3 vertices, has no parallel edges or self loops, and that every vertex is reachable from s. Any shortest path st path must include the lightest edge.

Given a digraph, find a bitonic shortest path from s to every other vertex (if one exists). A path is bitonic if there is an intermediate vertex v suchthat the edges on the path from s to v are strictly increasing and the edges on the pathfrom v to t are strictly decreasing. The path should be simple (no repeated vertices).

Consider a directed graph G with a starting vertex s, a destination t, and nonnegative edge lengths. Under what conditions is the shortest s-t path guaranteed to be unique? a) When all edge lengths are distinct positive integers. b) When all edge lengths are distinct powers of 2. c) When all edge lengths are distinct positive integers and the graph G contains no directed cycles. d) None of the other options are correct.
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph and each edge e ∈ E is associated with a positive weight ℓ(e).For simplicity we assume weights are distinct. Is the following statement true or false? Let P be the shortest path between two nodes s, t. Now, suppose we replace each edge weight ℓ(e) withℓ(e)^2, then P is still a shortest path between s and t.
Get the bitonic shortest route from s to each of the other vertices in a given digraph (if one exists). If a path has an intermediate vertex v and the edges from s to v and from v to t are strictly rising and decreasing, the path is said to be bitonic. The way should be clear-cut.
Prove Proposition : For any vertex v reachable from s, BFS computes a shortest path from s to v (no path from s to v has fewer edges).
