shortest distance through coordinates
问题 I am given a set of point in the x-y plane ={(x1,y1),(x2,y2),.....(xn,yn)} and I am given two points a(xa,ya) and b(xb,yb) and asked to find the set of points that cover the shortest path. no connection between points are given. If I assume a connection to every other point.it will take a long time to compute these values for a weighted graph. Can someone tell me what reading I should do. what topic does this problem come under graph algorithms?!!(Is there any specific algorithm) I have been
