The all-pairs shortest path problem, in which we have to find shortest paths between every pair of vertices v, v' in the graph. These generalizations have significantly more efficient algorithms than the simplistic approach of running a single-pair shortest path algorithm on all relevant pairs of vertices.
Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path from a given source node to every other node. [7]: 196–206 It can be used to find the shortest path to a specific destination node, by terminating the algorithm after determining the shortest path to the destination node. For example, if the nodes of the graph represent cities, and the costs of ...
A central problem in algorithmic graph theory is the shortest path problem.One of the generalizations of the shortest path problem is known as the single-source-shortest-paths (SSSP) problem, which consists of finding the shortest paths from a source vertex to all other vertices in the graph.
The first three stages of Johnson's algorithm are depicted in the illustration below. The graph on the left of the illustration has two negative edges, but no negative cycles. The center graph shows the new vertex q, a shortest path tree as computed by the Bellman–Ford algorithm with q as starting vertex, and the values h(v) computed at each other node as the length of the shortest path from ...
The Floyd–Warshall algorithm is an example of dynamic programming, and was published in its currently recognized form by Robert Floyd in 1962. [3] However, it is essentially the same as algorithms previously published by Bernard Roy in 1959 [4] and also by Stephen Warshall in 1962 [5] for finding the transitive closure of a graph, [6] and is closely related to Kleene's algorithm (published ...
The following example shows how Suurballe's algorithm finds the shortest pair of disjoint paths from A to F. Figure A illustrates a weighted graph G. Figure B calculates the shortest path P 1 from A to F (A–B–D–F). Figure C illustrates the shortest path tree T rooted at A, and the computed distances from A to every vertex (u).
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:
Parallel all-pairs shortest path algorithm; Parallel breadth-first search; Parallel single-source shortest path algorithm; Path-based strong component algorithm; Pre-topological order; Prim's algorithm; Proof-number search; Push–relabel maximum flow algorithm
