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.

New York streets

The main streets of Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn, from OpenStreetMap, with the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges between them. 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 24 to 40 km/h by road type where the map has no limit.

A directed, weighted graph with 295 vertices and 669 edges.

How many minutes is the quickest drive from Canal St & Broadway in Manhattan to Court St & Joralemon St in Brooklyn?

Use it in Go

dist := path.Dijkstra(g, "Canal St & Broadway")
fmt.Println(dist["Court St & Joralemon 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.
