Dijkstra

Finds the shortest distance from a start vertex to every other vertex when no edge weight is negative.

Time complexity O((V+E) log V), gograph function path.Dijkstra.

London streets

The main roads of central London from Westminster to the City, from OpenStreetMap, with the bridges over the Thames to Southwark and Waterloo. Each intersection is named after its streets, one-way streets go one way, and each edge is the minutes to drive it at the speed limit, or at 20 to 32 km/h by road type where the map has no limit.

A directed, weighted graph with 274 vertices and 598 edges.

How many minutes is the quickest drive from Trafalgar Sq & Strand in Westminster to Tower Bridge Rd & Tooley St across the Thames?

Use it in Go

dist := path.Dijkstra(g, "Trafalgar Sq & Strand")
fmt.Println(dist["Tower Bridge Rd & Tooley St"])

  • Bellman-Ford: Finds the shortest distance from a start vertex to every other vertex, even with negative weights, and reports a negative cycle when the start can reach one.
  • Floyd-Warshall: Finds the shortest distance between every pair of vertices, even with negative weights, by letting paths stop at one more vertex in each round.
