  1. Shortest Path Graph Theory Basics

  2. Introduction • Weighted Graph – Edges have weights • Shortest Path problem is finding a path between two vertices such that the sum of the weights of edges along the path is minimized 2 B C 20 3 A 4 8 E G 6 5 D 2 F

  3. Variations • Single-Source Shortest Path - find shortest paths from a source vertex S to all other vertices • Single-Destination Shortest Path - find shortest paths from all vertices in the directed graph to a single destination vertex D • All-Pairs Shortest Path - find shortest paths between every pair of vertices u, v in the graph.

  4. Applications • Road Network • Cities in a country can be considered as vertices and the roads connecting them are edges • Edge weight is length of the road ( distance to be travelled ) • One-way roads ( Directed Edges ) • Find shortest path from city A to city B • … many other

  5. Algorithms • Dijkstra's algorithm : single-source shortest path problem • Bellman–Ford algorithm : single-source shortest path problem if edge weights may be negative. • Floyd–Warshall algorithm : all pairs shortest paths.

  6. Dijkstra’s Algorithm Dijkstra( S ) set dist[u] = INF for all vertices u set dist[S] = 0 and insert S in a data structure q while( q is not empty ) u = remove the vertex with minimum dist in q for v in nbrs(u) newDist = dist[u] + weight(u,v) if( newDist < dist[v] ) dist[v] = newDist; end-if end-for end-while end-Diijkstra

  8. Dijkstra’s Algorithm Analysis • Running time depends mainly on the associated data structure q • q • Array : O(n2) • Binary Heap : O( (n+m) logn ) • Fibonacci Heap : O( m + n logn ) • What if the edge weights are negative ?

  9. Bellman-Ford Algorithm Bellman­Ford( S ) set dist[u] = INF for all u dist[S] = 0; Repeat (n-1) times for all edges (u,v) in the graph if(dist[v] > dist[u] + weight(u,v) ) dist[v] = dist[u] + graph[u][v]; end-if end-for end-repeat end-Bellman-Ford // Complexity : O( n m )

  11. All-Pairs Shortest Path • Repeat Single-Source Shortest Path n times • Matrix Exponentiation – Recursive Squaring • Dynamic Programming – Floyd-Warshall

  12. Floyd-Warshall Algorithm Floyd-Warshall set dist[u][v] = INF for all u,v for each edge (u,v) in the graph dist[u][v] = weight(u,v) end-for // Each stage has shortest paths using intermediate vertices (1..k−1) for k: 1 to n for u : 1 to n for v : 1 to n dist[u][v] = minimum( dist[u][v], dist[u][k] + dist[k][v] ) end-for-v end-for-u end-for-k end-floyd-warshall// Complexity : O( n3 )
