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.
The amortized performance of a Fibonacci heap depends on the degree (number of children) of any tree root being (), where is the size of the heap. Here we show that the size of the (sub)tree rooted at any node x {\displaystyle x} of degree d {\displaystyle d} in the heap must have size at least F d + 2 {\displaystyle F_{d+2}} , where F i ...
Chen et al. [11] examined priority queues specifically for use with Dijkstra's algorithm and concluded that in normal cases using a d-ary heap without decrease-key (instead duplicating nodes on the heap and ignoring redundant instances) resulted in better performance, despite the inferior theoretical performance guarantees.
A strict Fibonacci heap is a single tree satisfying the minimum-heap property. That is, the key of a node is always smaller than or equal to its children. As a direct consequence, the node with the minimum key always lies at the root. Like ordinary Fibonacci heaps, [4] strict Fibonacci heaps possess substructures similar to binomial heaps. To ...
In computer science, smoothsort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm.A variant of heapsort, it was invented and published by Edsger Dijkstra in 1981. [1] Like heapsort, smoothsort is an in-place algorithm with an upper bound of O(n log n) operations (see big O notation), [2] but it is not a stable sort.
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.
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:
The following pseudocode for three-way partitioning which assumes zero-based array indexing was proposed by Dijkstra himself. [2] It uses three indices i, j and k, maintaining the invariant that i ≤ j ≤ k. Entries from 0 up to (but not including) i are values less than mid, entries from i up to (but not including) j are values equal to mid,
