Abstract

In the present paper we improve Spira's algorithm for the all shortest distance problem and reduce the expected computing time from 0(n 2 log 2 n) to 0(n 2 lognloglogn) where n is the number of vertices in a graph. We also give an algorithm for distance matrix multiplication with 0(n 2 logn) comparisons and additions between distances where n is the dimension of matrices.
