Abstract

The Elementary Shortest Path Problem (ESPP) is the problem of finding an elementary minimum-cost path between two nodes in a directed graph in such a way that each node on the path is visited exactly once. If negative arc costs are allowed, then the problem is NP-hard. We study an exact integer programming formulation for the ESPP and we discuss its LP relaxations. We present a solution approach based on these relaxations.
