Disjoint paths in a network
Abstract
Routes between two given nodes of a network are called diversified if they are node‐disjoint, except at the terminals. Diversified routes are required for reliability in communication, and an additional criterion is that their total cost, assumed to be the sum of individual arc lengths or costs, is minimum. An algorithm and related theory is described for a general number K of node‐disjoint paths with minimum total length. The algorithm applies shortest path labeling algorithms familiar in the literature. K node‐disjoint paths are found in K iterations of a single shortest path algorithm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
