6. Shortest paths – mean?
Path 1: A -> B -> D = 7
Path 2: A -> C -> D = 7
Path 3: A -> B -> C -> D = 6
There are several paths
between A and D:
5
4
312
7. There are several things to notice here:
There can be more then one route
between two nodes.
The number of nodes in the route isn’t
important (Path 3 has 4 nodes but is
shorter than Path 1 or 2, which
has 3 nodes).
There can be more than one path of
minimal length.

Applications and generalizations
The Floyd–Warshall algorithm is an example of dynamic programming. In computer science, the Floyd–Warshall algorithm is an algorithm for finding shortest paths in a weighted graph with positive or negative edge weights (but with no negative cycles). A single execution of the algorithm will find the lengths of the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices, though it does not return details of the paths themselves.
The Floyd–Warshall algorithm was published by Bernard Roy in 1959. Later it recognized form by Robert Floyd in 1962 and also by Stephen Warshall in 1962 for finding the transitive closure of a graph. The modern formulation of the algorithm as three nested for-loops was first described by Peter Ingerman, in 1962.
The algorithm is also known as Floyd's algorithm, the Roy–Warshall algorithm, the Roy–Floyd algorithm, or the WFI algorithm.
The shortest path between two nodes of a graph is a sequence of connected nodes so that the sum of the edges that inter-connect them is minimal.
the space requirements are high. One can reduce the space from O(n3) to O(n2) by using a single array d.
Let n be |V|, the number of vertices. To find all n2 of shortestPath(i,j,k) (for all i and j) from those of shortestPath(i,j,k−1) requires 2n2 operations. Since we begin with shortestPath(i,j,0) = edgeCost(i,j) and compute the sequence of n matrices shortestPath(i,j,1), shortestPath(i,j,2), …, shortestPath(i,j,n), the total number of operations used is n · 2n2 = 2n3. Therefore, the complexity of the algorithm is Θ(n3).
The Floyd–Warshall algorithm can be used to solve the following problems, among others:
In mathematics, the transitive closure of a binary relation R on a set X is the transitive relation R+ on set X such that R+ contains R and R+ is minimal
