ShortestPath
As of Version 10, most of the functionality of the Combinatorica package is built into the Wolfram System. »
ShortestPath[g,start,end]
finds a shortest path between vertices start and end in graph g.
Details and Options
- ShortestPath functionality is now available in the built-in Wolfram Language function FindShortestPath.
- To use ShortestPath, you first need to load the Combinatorica Package using Needs["Combinatorica`"].
- An option Algorithm that takes on the values Automatic, Dijkstra, or BellmanFord is provided. This allows a choice between using Dijkstra's algorithm and the Bellman–Ford algorithm.
- The default is Algorithm->Automatic. In this case, depending on whether edges have negative weights and depending on the density of the graph, the algorithm chooses between BellmanFord and Dijkstra.
