Question:

Consider the following special type of shortest-path problem (see Sec. 10.3) where the nodes are in columns and the only paths considered always move forward one column at a time.
Consider the following special type of shortest-path problem (see Sec.

The numbers along the links represent distances, and the objective is to find the shortest path from the origin to the destination. This problem also can be formulated as a BIP model involving both mutually exclusive alternatives and contingent decisions.
