The k most vital arcs in the shortest path problem
The k most vital arcs in a network are those whose removal from the network results in the greatest increase in the shortest distance between two specified nodes. An exact algorithm is proposed to determine the k most vital arcs. Furthermore, an algorithm of time complexity equal to that of Dijkstra's algorithm for the shortest path problem is developed to solve the single most vital arc problem.
