RESUMO
Here we present a novel visible analog computing approach for solving a wide class of shortest path problems. Using a microfluidic chip for computation, based on the lighting up of a glow discharge, the solution to maze search problems, the solution of a network shortest path and k-shortest paths problems and the practical application of finding the shortest paths between several landmarks from a street map are presented. The solution and visible display (in real time) for these problems shows only a small difference in practical problem solving time among problems with varying differences in size.
