pgr_primDD

pgr_primDD — Catchament nodes using Prim’s algorithm.

Boost Graph Inside

Availability

• Version 3.0.0

  • New Official function

Description

Using Prim’s algorithm, extracts the nodes that have aggregate costs less than or equal to a distance from a root vertex (or vertices) within the calculated minimum spanning tree.

The main Characteristics are:

• It’s implementation is only on undirected graph.

• Process is done only on edges with positive costs.

• When the graph is connected

  • The resulting edges make up a tree

• When the graph is not connected,

  • Finds a minimum spanning tree for each connected component.

  • The resulting edges make up a forest.

• Prim’s running time: \(O(E * log V)\)

• Extracts all the nodes that have costs less than or equal to the value distance.

• The edges extracted will conform to the corresponding spanning tree.

• Edge \((u, v)\) will not be included when:

  • The distance from the root to \(u\) > limit distance.

  • The distance from the root to \(v\) > limit distance.

  • No new nodes are created on the graph, so when is within the limit and is not within the limit, the edge is not included.

• Returned tree nodes from a root vertex are on Depth First Search order.

• Depth First Search running time: \(O(E + V)\)
