Show

Dijkstra's algorithm purpose

Find shortest path through weighted graph

Developer of Dijkstra's algorithm

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (Dutch computer scientist)

Starting vertex value in Dijkstra's

0 (zero)

Permanence rule for circled values

Cannot be changed once circled

Which uncircled value to make permanent

The smallest uncircled value

Updating vertex from XX with value dd

d+d + edge weight, keep smaller if exists

When to stop the algorithm

When destination vertex is circled

Purpose of backtracking step

Find the actual route/path

Backtracking calculation

Vertex value - edge weight = previous vertex value

Real-world applications

GPS navigation, routing, scheduling, network optimization
