Edge-minimum walk of modular length in polynomial time

A Amarilli, B Groz, N Wein - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.01614, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of finding, in a directed graph, an st-walk of length r mod q which is
edge-minimum, ie, uses the smallest number of distinct edges. Despite the vast literature on …

Survey of Results on the ModPath and ModCycle Problems

A Amarilli - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.00770, 2024 - arxiv.org
This note summarizes the state of what is known about the tractability of the problem
ModPath, which asks if an input undirected graph contains a simple st-path whose length …
