In conclusion, the remove-restrict-k and dist algo-
rithms in the vertex variable seem to be the best for
the shortest s-t path reconfiguration problem.

5 CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have proposed several algorithms for
the shortest s-t path reconfiguration problem. All of
them are based on DD operations. Computer experi-
ments were conducted to compare these algorithms.
We believe that the value of this study is that it
showed that ZDD operations can solve combinatorial
reconfiguration problems under various rules. Future
work includes considering what rules of combinato-
rial reconfiguration problems our method can be ap-
plied to.
