Floyd-Warshall Algorithm Overview

The document discusses the Floyd-Warshall algorithm for finding the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices in a graph. It explains that the algorithm iterates through the vertices, using each one as an intermediate vertex to find shorter paths. It runs in O(n^3) time and can be modified to use O(n^2) space. An example application of the algorithm on a sample graph is provided.

Floyd Warshall Algorithm –All Pair
Shortest Path Algorithm –Dynamic
Programming
Suppose we are given a directed graph
G=(V,E) and a weight function w: E->R.
We assume that G does not contain cycles
of weight 0 or less.

The All-Pairs Shortest Path Problem is to


find the length of the shortest path between
any pair of vertices in G.
Floyd Warshall Algorithm
Floyd-Warshall(W)
n = # of rows of W;
D(0) = W;
for k = 1 to n do
for i = 1 to n do
for j = 1 to n do
dij(k) = min{dij(k-1) , dik(k-1) + dkj(k-1)};

Time and Space Complexity

The running time is obviously O(n3).

However, in this version, the space


requirements are high. One can reduce
the space from O(n3) to O(n2) by
using a single array d.
Example

• Find Shortest Path of given graph


Initialization: (k = 0)
• Iteration 1: (k = 1) Shorter paths
from 2 ↝ 3 and 2 ↝ 4 are found
through vertex 1
• Iteration 2: (k = 2) Shorter paths
from 4 ↝ 1, 5 ↝ 1, and 5 ↝ 3 are
found through vertex 2
• Iteration 3: (k = 3) No shorter
paths are found through vertex 3
• Iteration 4: (k = 4) Shorter paths from 1
↝ 2, 1 ↝ 3, 2 ↝ 3, 3 ↝ 1, 3 ↝ 2, 5 ↝ 1, 5
↝ 2, 5 ↝ 3, and 5 ↝ 4 are found through
vertex 4
• Iteration 5: (k = 5) No shorter paths
are found through vertex 5
• The final shortest paths for all pairs is
given by
