Abstract

Let G be a directed planar graph of complexity n, each arc having a nonnegative length. Let s and t be two distinct faces of G let s1,…,sk be vertices incident with s let t1,…,tk be vertices incident with t. We give an algorithm to compute k pairwise vertex-disjoint paths connecting the pairs (si,ti) in G, with minimal total length, in O(knlog n) time.
