  2. Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra's_algorithm

    Dijkstra's algorithm (/ ˈ d aɪ k s t r ə z / DYKE-strəz) is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a weighted graph, which may represent, for example, a road network. It was conceived by computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1956 and published three years later.

  3. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    From a dynamic programming point of view, Dijkstra's algorithm for the shortest path problem is a successive approximation scheme that solves the dynamic programming functional equation for the shortest path problem by the Reaching method. [8] [9] [10] In fact, Dijkstra's explanation of the logic behind the algorithm, [11] namely Problem 2.

  4. Dutch national flag problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_national_flag_problem

    The solution to this problem is of interest for designing sorting algorithms; in particular, variants of the quicksort algorithm that must be robust to repeated elements may use a three-way partitioning function that groups items less than a given key (red), equal to the key (white) and greater than the key (blue). Several solutions exist that ...

  5. Shortest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem

    Shortest path (A, C, E, D, F), blue, between vertices A and F in the weighted directed graph. In graph theory, the shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two vertices (or nodes) in a graph such that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized.

  6. Pathfinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinding

    A common example of a graph-based pathfinding algorithm is Dijkstra's algorithm. [3] This algorithm begins with a start node and an "open set" of candidate nodes. At each step, the node in the open set with the lowest distance from the start is examined.

  7. Euclidean shortest path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_shortest_path

    These algorithms are based on two different principles, either performing a shortest path algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm on a visibility graph derived from the obstacles or (in an approach called the continuous Dijkstra method) propagating a wavefront from one of the points until it meets the other.

  8. Parallel all-pairs shortest path algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_all-pairs...

    The Dijkstra algorithm originally was proposed as a solver for the single-source-shortest-paths problem. However, the algorithm can easily be used for solving the All-Pair-Shortest-Paths problem by executing the Single-Source variant with each node in the role of the root node. In pseudocode such an implementation could look as follows:

  9. Shortest-path tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest-path_tree

    In connected graphs where shortest paths are well-defined (i.e. where there are no negative-length cycles), we may construct a shortest-path tree using the following algorithm: Compute dist( u ), the shortest-path distance from root v to vertex u in G using Dijkstra's algorithm or Bellman–Ford algorithm .
