With slight modification we can obtain the path value. See the below image to get the idea of the problem. It is highly recommended to read dijkstra s algorithm using the priority queue first widest path problem is a problem of finding a path between two vertices of the graph maximizing the weight of the minimumweight edge in the path. Graphs, networks and algorithms dieter jungnickel springer. The fusion between graph theory and combinatorial optimization has led to theoretically profound and practically useful algorithms, yet there is no book that.

How to find leastcost paths in a graph using dijkstras algo rithm. The third chapter briefly covers the platforms used in this book before we. Diestel is excellent and has a free version available online. It is not the easiest book around, but it runs deep and has a nice unifying theme of studying how. Discover our top picks plus a few honorable mentions for books, videos and resources on graph theory and graph algorithms, from. This script is based on the lecture notes of algorithms in graph. The book is a first class textbook and seems to be indispensable for everybody who has to. This lesson explains how to apply dijkstras algo rithm to find the shortest path from one vertex to another using a graph.
The algorithm creates a tree of shortest paths from the starting vertex, the source, to all other points in the graph. Original algorithm outputs value of shortest path not the path itself. This video is distributed under the creative commons attribution 2. The dijkstra s algorithm works on a weighted graph with nonnegative edge weights and gives a shortest path tree.
The dijkstra s algorithm starts with a source vertex s and explores the whole graph. The first two chapters provide an introduction to graph analytics, algorithms, and theory. Dijkstras algorithm or dijkstras shortest path first algorithm, spf algorithm is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent, for example, road networks. Dijkstras algorithm, published in 1959 and named after its creator dutch computer scientist edsger dijkstra, can be applied on a weighted graph.
