Abstract

Bicriterion path problems in directed graphs are systematically studied. A series of ten problems are defined and their computational complexity examined. Algorithms are provided for some of them, including polynomial algorithms for the MAXMIN-MAXMIN problem and the MINSUM-MAXMIN problem, and a pseudo-polynomial exact algorithm as well as a fully polynomial approximation scheme for the MINSUM-MINSUM problem.
