An Improved Approximation Algorithm for the s-t Path Movement Problem

This paper considers a movement problem that minimizes the maximum movement of pebbles on a graph to form a path from source vertex to destination vertex . The best known algorithm for this problem is a 7-approximation algorithm developed by Berman, Demaine, and Zadimoghaddam in 2011. We refine t...
