and Shortest Cycle in undirected unweighted graphs. The results are as follows: We obtain
the first+ 2-approximation algorithm for APSP in n-vertex graphs that improves upon Dor,
Halperin and Zwick's (SICOMP'00) O (n7/3) time algorithm. The new algorithm runs in O (n2.
29) time and is obtained via a reduction to Min-Plus product of bounded difference matrices.
We obtain the first additive approximation scheme for Shortest Cycle, generalizing the …
