Shortest Path Algorithms

Detailed Description

This group contains the algorithms for finding shortest paths in digraphs [clrs01algorithms].

• Dijkstra algorithm for finding shortest paths from a source node when all arc lengths are non-negative.
• Bellman-Ford algorithm for finding shortest paths from a source node when arc lenghts can be either positive or negative, but the digraph should not contain directed cycles with negative total length.
• Suurballe A successive shortest path algorithm for finding arc-disjoint paths between two nodes having minimum total length.

Function Documentation

bellmanFord()

template<typename GR , typename LEN >

BellmanFordWizard< BellmanFordWizardBase< GR, LEN > > bellmanFord	(	const GR &	digraph,
		const LEN &	length
	)

Function type interface for the Bellman-Ford algorithm.

This function also has several named parameters, they are declared as the members of class BellmanFordWizard. The following examples show how to use these parameters.

// Compute shortest path from node s to each node
bellmanFord(g,length).predMap(preds).distMap(dists).run(s);
 
// Compute shortest path from s to t
bool reached = bellmanFord(g,length).path(p).dist(d).run(s,t);

Warning

Don't forget to put the run() to the end of the parameter list.

dijkstra()

template<typename GR , typename LEN >

DijkstraWizard< DijkstraWizardBase< GR, LEN > > dijkstra	(	const GR &	digraph,
		const LEN &	length
	)

Function-type interface for Dijkstra algorithm.

This function also has several named parameters, they are declared as the members of class DijkstraWizard. The following examples show how to use these parameters.

// Compute shortest path from node s to each node
dijkstra(g,length).predMap(preds).distMap(dists).run(s);
 
// Compute shortest path from s to t
bool reached = dijkstra(g,length).path(p).dist(d).run(s,t);

Warning

Don't forget to put the run() to the end of the parameter list.
