Rerouting shortest paths in planar graphs
Abstract
A rerouting sequence is a sequence of shortest st-paths such that consecutive paths differ in one vertex. We study the the Shortest Path Rerouting Problem, which asks, given two shortest st-paths P and Q in a graph G, whether a rerouting sequence exists from P to Q. This problem is PSPACE-hard in general, but we show that it can be solved in polynomial time if G is planar. To this end, we introduce a dynamic programming method for reconfiguration problems.
