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