Synopsis

Dijkstra’s algorithm, conceived by Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra in 1956. It is a graph search algorithm that solves the shortest path problem for a graph with non-negative edge path costs, producing a shortest path from a starting vertex (start_vid) to an ending vertex (end_vid). This implementation can be used with a directed graph and an undirected graph.

Characteristics

The main Characteristics are:
  • Process is done only on edges with positive costs.
  • Values are returned when there is a path.
    • When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.
      • The agg_cost the non included values (v, v) is 0
    • When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the different and there is no path:
      • The agg_cost the non included values (u, v) is \(\infty\)
  • For optimization purposes, any duplicated value in the start_vids or end_vids are ignored.
  • The returned values are ordered:
    • start_vid ascending
    • end_vid ascending
  • Running time: \(O(| start\_vids | * (V \log V + E))\)

Signatures

Minimal signature

pgr_dijkstra(TEXT edges_sql, BIGINT start_vid, BIGINT end_vid)
RETURNS SET OF (seq, path_seq, node, edge, cost, agg_cost) or EMPTY SET

The minimal signature is for a directed graph from one start_vid to one end_vid:

Example: 
SELECT * FROM pgr_dijkstra(
    'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
    2, 3
);
 seq | path_seq | node | edge | cost | agg_cost 
-----+----------+------+------+------+----------
   1 |        1 |    2 |    4 |    1 |        0
   2 |        2 |    5 |    8 |    1 |        1
   3 |        3 |    6 |    9 |    1 |        2
   4 |        4 |    9 |   16 |    1 |        3
   5 |        5 |    4 |    3 |    1 |        4
   6 |        6 |    3 |   -1 |    0 |        5

pgr_dijkstra One to One

pgr_dijkstra(TEXT edges_sql, BIGINT start_vid, BIGINT end_vid,
    BOOLEAN directed:=true);
RETURNS SET OF (seq, path_seq, node, edge, cost, agg_cost) or EMPTY SET
This signature finds the shortest path from one start_vid to one end_vid:
  • on a directed graph when directed flag is missing or is set to true.
  • on an undirected graph when directed flag is set to false.
Example: 
SELECT * FROM pgr_dijkstra(
    'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
    2, 3,
    FALSE
);
 seq | path_seq | node | edge | cost | agg_cost 
-----+----------+------+------+------+----------
   1 |        1 |    2 |    2 |    1 |        0
   2 |        2 |    3 |   -1 |    0 |        1
(2 rows)

pgr_dijkstra One to many

pgr_dijkstra(TEXT edges_sql, BIGINT start_vid, ARRAY[ANY_INTEGER] end_vids,
    BOOLEAN directed:=true);
RETURNS SET OF (seq, path_seq, end_vid, node, edge, cost, agg_cost) or EMPTY SET
This signature finds the shortest path from one start_vid to each end_vid in end_vids:
  • on a directed graph when directed flag is missing or is set to true.
  • on an undirected graph when directed flag is set to false.

Using this signature, will load once the graph and perform a one to one pgr_dijkstra where the starting vertex is fixed, and stop when all end_vids are reached.

  • The result is equivalent to the union of the results of the one to one pgr_dijkstra.
  • The extra end_vid in the result is used to distinguish to which path it belongs.
Example: 
SELECT * FROM pgr_dijkstra(
    'SELECT id, source, target, cost FROM edge_table',
    2, ARRAY[3,5],
    FALSE
);
 seq | path_seq | end_vid | node | edge | cost | agg_cost
