Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The decremental single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem concerns maintaining the distances beten a given source node s to every node in an n-node m-edge graph G undergoing edge deletions. While its static counterpart can be easily solved in near-linear time, this decremental problem is much more challenging even in the undirected unighted case. In this case, the classic O(mn) total update time of Even and Shiloach (JACM 1981) has been the fastest known algorithm for three decades. With the loss of a (1 + aepsi;)-approximation factor, the running time was recently improved to O(n2+o(1)) by Bernstein and Roditty (SODA 2011), and more recently to O(n1.8+o(1) + m1+o(1)) by Henzinger, Krinninger, and Nanongkai (SODA 2014). ,  finally bring the running time of this case down to near-linear:  give a (1 + aepsi;)-approximation algorithm with O(m1+o(1)) total update time, thus obtaining near-linear time. Moreover,  obtain O(m1+o(1)log W) time for the ighted case, where the edge ights are integers from 1 to W. The only prior work on ighted graphs in o(mn log W) time is the O(mn0.986 log W)-time algorithm by Henzinger, Krinninger, and Nanongkai (STOC 2014) which works for the general ighted directed case. In contrast to the previous results which rely on maintaining a sparse emulator, our algorithm relies on maintaining a so-called sparse (d, aepsi;)-hop set introduced by Cohen (JACM 2000) in the PRAM literature. A (d, aepsi;)-hop set of a graph G = (V, E) is a set E' of ighted edges such that the distance beten any pair of nodes in G can be (1 + aepsi;)-approximated by their d-hop distance (given by a path containing at most d edges) on G'=(V, E a#x222A; E'). Our algorithm can maintain an (no(1), aepsi;)-hop set of near-linear size in near-linear time under edge deletions. It is the first of its kind to the best of our knowledge. To maintain the distances on this hop set,  develop a monotone bounded-hop Even-Shiloach tree. It results from extending and combining the monotone Even-Shiloach tree of Henzinger, Krinninger, and Nanongkai (FOCS 2013) with the bounded-hop SSSP technique of Bernstein (STOC 2013). These two new tools might be of independent interest.
