Single-Source Shortest Path Problem
Single-Source Shortest Path Problem - The
problem of finding shortest paths from a source
vertex v to all other vertices in the graph.
Dijkstra's algorithm
Dijkstra's algorithm - is a solution to the single-source
shortest path problem in graph theory.

Works on both directed and undirected graphs.
However, all edges must have nonnegative weights.

Approach: Greedy

Input: Weighted graph G={E,V} and source vertex vV,
such that all edge weights are nonnegative

Output: Lengths of shortest paths (or the shortest
paths themselves) from a given source vertex vV to
all other vertices


Dijkstra's algorithm - Pseudocode
dist[s] 0 (distance to source vertex is zero)
for all v V{s}
do dist[v] (set all other distances to infinity)
S (S, the set of visited vertices is initially empty)
QV (Q, the queue initially contains all
vertices)
while Q (while the queue is not empty)
do u mindistance(Q,dist) (select the element of Q with the min. distance)
SS{u} (add u to list of visited vertices)
for all v neighbors[u]
do if dist[v] > dist[u] + w(u, v) (if new shortest path found)
then d[v] d[u] + w(u, v) (set new value of shortest path)
(if desired, add traceback code)
return dist

Sort Edges
(in reality they are placed in a priority
queue - not sorted - but sorting them
makes the algorithm easier to visualize)
