The search for shortest paths in such structures is a highly demanded procedure that requires optimization. This paper presents a variant of the all-pairs shortest path algorithm for bipartite graphs. The method is based on the distance matrix product and improves the general algorithm by exploiting the graph topology. The space complexity is reduced by a factor of at least four and the time complexity decreased by almost an order of magnitude when compared with the basic APSP algorithm.en2299-109320134149157Versitahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/bipartite graphtropical (min-plus) algebrashortest pathdistance matrix productNatural Sciences and Mathematics::510: MathematicsJournal Article2025-07-30https://doi.org/10.15480/882.1555110.2478/s13537-013-0110-410.15480/882.15551Journal Article
