Description¶

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.

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: \(O(| start\_vids | * (V \log V + E))\)
