Consider a weighted complete graph G with vertex set G.V = {v0, v1, v2, …, vn-1}. The weight of the edge from vi and vj is denoted as G.w(i, j). It is assumed that the weights of the edges are non-negative. In other words, the weights satisfy the following constraints:
G.w(i, j) > 0 if i ≠ j
G.w(i, j) = 0 if i = j
The All Pairs Shortest Paths Problem (APSPP) is, given G, to find the distance network D which is a weighted complete graph such that
(i) D has the same vertex set as G.V. In other words, D.V=G.V= {v0, v1, v2, …, vn-1};
(ii) The weights of the edges in D represents the lengths of the shortest paths in G, In other words, D.w(i, j)=length of the shortest path from vi and vj
APSPP problem can be solved by the following approaches:
Approach A (Dijkstra’s algorithm): Repeatedly solving the Single Source Shortest Paths Problem (SSSPP) using Dijkstra’s algorithm which is a well known greedy algorithm.
Approach B (Floyd Algorithm): This approach solves APSPP using Dynamic Programming. It finds all the constrained shortest paths in the graph that only go via intermediate nodes {v0, v1, v2, …, vk}, for k=0, 1,2,.. n-1. When k=n-1, there is no more constraint. Thus all-pairs shortest paths problem is solved when k=n-1.
hello............message me ......i can get your work done today utself..........i have very good experience in java and algorithms........i am ready to start immediately........waiting for your response.........Thank You.......Regards
Hi, I already have these algorithms implemented including visual demonstration, it was academic project on faculty of Mathematics in Belgrade where I studied. I can just modify it if theres need. Please contact me with any further information.
Best regards,
Nemanja
