The 'certification path validation algorithm' is the algorithm which verifies that a given 'certificate path' is valid under a given public key infrastructure. A path starts with the Subject certificate and proceeds through a number of intermediate certificates up to a trusted root certificate, typically issued by a trusted Certification Authority (CA).
