Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An example is presented to show that the worst-case complexity of Bertsekas' small-label-first strategy for the shortest path problem is exponential. It becomes polynomial if, when scanning a node i, its successors j ∈ Γ(i) are examined in the nondecreasing order of dij, the distance between i and j.
