# pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix¶

pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix - Calculates the a cost matrix using pgr_bdDijkstra.

Availability:

• Version 3.0.0
• Official function
• Version 2.5.0
• New proposed function
• Supported versions: current(3.0)
• Unsupported versions: 2.6 2.5

## Description¶

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 $$\infty$$
• Running time (worse case scenario): $$O((V \log V + E))$$
• For large graphs where there is a path bewtween the starting vertex and ending vertex:
• It is expected to terminate faster than pgr_dijkstra
• Returns a cost matrix.

Summary

pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(edges_sql, start_vids [, directed])
RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)


Using default

pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(edges_sql, start_vid)
RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Example: Cost matrix for vertices $$\{1, 2, 3, 4\}$$ on a directed graph
SELECT * FROM pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(
'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
(SELECT array_agg(id) FROM edge_table_vertices_pgr WHERE id < 5)
);

RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Example: Symmetric cost matrix for vertices $$\{1, 2, 3, 4\}$$ on an undirected graph
SELECT * FROM pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(
'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
(SELECT array_agg(id) FROM edge_table_vertices_pgr WHERE id < 5),
false

## Parameters¶

Parameter Type Description
edges_sql TEXT Edges SQL query as described above.
start_vids ARRAY[ANY-INTEGER] Array of identifiers of the vertices.
directed BOOLEAN (optional). When false the graph is considered as Undirected. Default is true which considers the graph as Directed.

## Inner query¶

Column Type Default Description
id ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the edge.
source ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the first end point vertex of the edge.
target ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the second end point vertex of the edge.
cost ANY-NUMERICAL

Weight of the edge (source, target)

• When negative: edge (source, target) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.
reverse_cost ANY-NUMERICAL -1

Weight of the edge (target, source),

• When negative: edge (target, source) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.

Where:

ANY-INTEGER: SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, REAL, FLOAT

## Result Columns¶

Returns SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Column Type Description
start_vid BIGINT Identifier of the starting vertex. Used when multiple starting vetrices are in the query.
end_vid BIGINT Identifier of the ending vertex. Used when multiple ending vertices are in the query.
agg_cost FLOAT Aggregate cost from start_vid to end_vid.

Example: Use with tsp
SELECT * FROM pgr_TSP(
$$SELECT * FROM pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix( 'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table', (SELECT array_agg(id) FROM edge_table_vertices_pgr WHERE id < 5), false )$$,
randomize := false
);
