Description

Dijkstra’s algorithm, conceived by Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra in 1956. It is a graph search algorithm that solves the shortest path problem for a graph with non-negative edge path costs, producing a shortest path from a starting vertex ( start_vid ) to an ending vertex ( end_vid ). This implementation can be used with a directed graph and an undirected graph.

The main characteristics are:
  • Process is done only on edges with positive costs.

  • Values are returned when there is a path.

    • When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.

      • The agg_cost the non included values (v, v) is 0

    • When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the different and there is no path:

      • The agg_cost the non included values (u, v) is \(\infty\)

  • For optimization purposes, any duplicated value in the start_vids or end_vids are ignored.

  • The returned values are ordered:

    • start_vid ascending

    • end_vid ascending

  • Running time: \(O( start\_vids * (V \log V + E))\)
