bellman.ford.sp
Bellman-Ford shortest paths using boost C++
Algorithm for the single-source shortest paths problem for a graph with both positive and negative edge weights.
- Keywords
- graphs
Usage
bellman.ford.sp(g,start=nodes(g)[1])
Arguments
- g
- instance of class graph
- start
- character: node name for start of path
Details
This function interfaces to the Boost graph library C++ routines for Bellman-Ford shortest paths. Choose the appropriate algorithm to calculate the shortest path carefully based on the properties of the given graph. See documentation on Bellman-Ford algorithm in Boost Graph Library for more details.
Value
-
A list with elements:
- all edges minimized
- true if all edges are minimized, false otherwise.
- distance
- The vector of distances from
start
to each node ofg
; includesInf
when there is no path fromstart
. - penult
- A vector of indices
(in
nodes(g)
) of predecessors corresponding to each node on the path from that node back tostart
. For example, if the
element one of this vector has value - start
- The start node that was supplied in the call to
bellman.ford.sp
.
10
, that means that the
predecessor of node 1
is node 10
. The next predecessor is
found by examining penult[10]
.
