  1. WEEKS 9 and 10Graphs IIUnweighted Shortest Paths, Dijkstra’s AlgorithmGraphs with negative costs, Acyclic Graphs CE222 – Data Structures & Algorithms II Chapter 9.3 (based on the book by M. A. Weiss, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++, 3rd edition, 2006)

  2. Shortest-Path Algorithms • The input is a weighted graph: associated with each edge (vi, vj) is a cost ci,j. • The cost of a path v1v2...vN is ∑ci,i+1 for i in [1..N-1]  weightedpathlength • Theunweighted path length is merely the number of edges on the path, namely, N-1. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  3. Shortest-Path Algorithms • Single-Source Shortest-Path Problem: • Given as input a weighted graph G=(V, E), and a distinguished vertex, s, find the shortest weighted path from s to every other vertex in G. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  4. Negative Cost Cycles • In the graph to the left, the shortest path from v1 to v6 has a cost of 6 and the path itself is v1v4v7v6. The shortest unweighted path has 2 edges. • In the graph to the right, we have a negative cost. The path from v5 to v4 has cost 1, but a shorter path exists by following the loop v5v4v2v5v4 which has cost -5. This path is still not the shortest, because we could stay in the loop arbitrarily long. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  5. Shortest Path Length: Problems We will examine 4 algorithms to solve four versions of the problem • Unweighted shortest path  O(|E|+|V|) • Weighted shortest path without negative edges  O(|E|log|V|) using queues • Weighted shortest path with negative edges  O(|E| . |V|) • Weighted shortest path of acyclic graphs  linear time CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  6. Unweighted Shortest Paths • Using some vertex, s, which is an input parameter, find the shortest path from s to all other vertices in an unweighted graph. Assume s=v3. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  7. Unweighted Shortest Paths • Algorithm: find vertices that are at distance 1, 2, ... N-1 by processing vertices in layers (breadth-first search) CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  8. Unweighted Shortest Paths CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  9. Unweighted Shortest Paths-Implementation For each vertex v • The distance from s in the entry dv • The bookkeeping variable (path) which will allow us to print the actual path pv • A boolean variable to check is the vertex is processed or not  known • classVertex { • Listadj; • boolknown; • intdist; • Vertexpath; } CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  11. Unweighted Shortest Paths - Improvement CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  12. Unweighted Shortest Paths - Improvement • At any point in time there are only two types of unknown vertices that have dv≠∞. Some have dv = currDist and the rest have dv = currDist +1. • We can make use of a queue data structure. • O(|E|+|V|) CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  13. Weighted Shortest Path Dijkstra’s Algorithm • With weighted shortest path,distance dv is tentative. It turns out to be the shortest path length from s to v using only known vertices as intermediates. • Greedy algorithm: proceeds in stages doing the best at each stage. • Dijkstra’s algorithm selects a vertex v with smallest dv among all unknown vertices and declares it known. Remainder of the stage consists of updating the values dw for all edges (v, w). CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  14. Dijkstra’s Algorithm - Example ► ► ► CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  15. Dijkstra’s Algorithm - Example • A proof by contradiction will show that this algorithm always works as long as no edge has a negative cost. ► ► ► ► CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  16. Dijkstra’s Algorithm Example – Stages I CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  17. Dijkstra’s Algorithm Example – Stages II CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  18. Dijkstra’s Algorithm - Pseudocode • If the vertices are sequentially scanned to find minimum dv, each phase will take O(|V|) to find the minimum, thus O(|V|2) over the course of the algorithm. • The time for updates is constant and at most one update per edge for a total of O(|E|). • Therefore the total time spent is O(|V|2+|E|). • If the graph is dense, OPTIMAL. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  19. Dijkstra’s Algorithm-What if the graph is sparse? • If the graph is sparse |E|=θ(|V|), algorithm is too slow. The distances of vertices need to be kept in a priority queue. • Selection of vertex with minimum distance via deleteMin, and updates via decreaseKey operation. Hence; O(|E|log|V|+|V|log|V|) • find operations are not supported, so you need to be able to maintain locations of di in the heap and update them as they change. • Alternative: insert w and dw with every update. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  20. Graphs with negative edge costs • Dijkstra’s algorithm does not work with negative edge costs. Once a vertex u is known, it is possible that from some other unknown vertex v, there is a path back to u that is very negative. • Algorithm: A combination of weighted and unweighted algorithms. Forget about the concept of known vertices. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  21. Graphs with negative edge costs - I • O(|E|*|V|) • Each vertex can dequeue at most O(|V|) times. (Why? Algorithm computes shortest paths with at most 0, 1, ..., |V|-1 edges in this order). Hence, the result! • If negative cost cycles, then each vertex should be checked to have been dequeued at most |V| times. CE 222-Data Structures & Algorithms II, Izmir University of Economics

  22. Acyclic Graphs • If the graph is known to be acyclic, the order in which vertices are declared known, can be set to be the topological order. • Running time = O(|V|+|E|) • This selection rule works because when a vertex is selected, its distance can no longer be lowered, since by topological ordering rule it has no incoming edges emanating from unknown nodes.
