One thing I didn't note in my discussion of Warshall's algorithm is that both these algorithms are examples of dynamic programming. We might call this k=0 (or maybe k=-1 would be better given my 0 indexed arrays). Note that in my version I initialize the distance matrix with the weight matrix so we always compare the distance paths with, at least, the direct distance between the nodes. If it is smaller than the distance already calculated through a previous k, and smaller than the weight (distance) of any edge connected i to j, then the current distance in the distance matrix is replaced with the new, shorter, distance. As with Warshall's algorithm one then iterates through intermediate nodes, call them k, to find the distance of the path between each node i,j through k. We start with a weight matrix of a directed graph, which is like the adjacency matrix except that it contains "weights" of edges representing distances between nodes. One often wants to know how far it is to something, say a network resource, rather than just whether or not one can get there. The reason for this is that it's useful in more applications. ![]() It's also often called the all-pairs shortest-paths problem which is the descriptive version.įloyd's algorithm is more commonly seen in the literature (a Google on Warshall is in fact brings this algorithm higher that Warshall's own). Indeed it's sometimes called the Floyd-Warshall algorithm since Floyd apparently got the idea for it from Warshall's algorithm. I'll have the Java version of this guy shortly.įloyd's algorithm is very closely related to Warshall's (as I previously presented here and here). Gonna have to really get moving on that project. My ultimate goal is to publish a large library of algorithms in Java, Ruby and C. My latest is Floyd's algorithm, again in Ruby. ![]()
