Lec 75 - All-Pairs Shortest Paths
IIT Madras - B.S. Degree Programme・20 minutes read
Shortest paths and weighted graphs are discussed, including single-source shortest path and finding the shortest distance between every pair of vertices. Algorithms like Dijkstra's and Bellman-Ford are introduced, with a focus on applications such as shipping products or travel booking.
Insights
- Dijkstra's and Bellman-Ford algorithms are crucial for solving single-source shortest path problems, but they cannot handle negative cycles due to their impact on defining shortest paths.
- The Floyd-Warshall algorithm seamlessly integrates Warshall's transitive closure concept with Floyd's approach to determine all pair shortest paths, offering a comprehensive solution by considering all possible intermediate vertices for each pair of vertices.
