  • Abstract
    An algorithm is presented for finding the suboptimal routes, or the kth shortest paths, between two nodes in a network. The algorithm works by building up an electric computational analogy that consists of an ideal diode in series with a DC voltage source. The computational operations increase linearly with the order of k. The algorithm also works efficiently for finding all routes between two nodes for a given network
