Dijkstra's shortest paths using boost C++
dijkstra's shortest paths
dijkstra.sp(g,start=nodes(g)[1], eW=unlist(edgeWeights(g)))
g |
instance of class graph |
start |
character: node name for start of path |
eW |
numeric: edge weights. |
These functions are interfaces to the Boost graph library C++ routines for Dijkstra's shortest paths.
For some graph subclasses, computing the edge weights can be expensive.
If you are calling dijkstra.sp
in a loop, you can pass the edge
weights explicitly to avoid the edge weight creation cost.
A list with elements:
distance |
The vector of distances from |
penult |
A vector of indices

. For example, if the
element one of this vector has value 10
, that means that the
predecessor of node 1
is node 10
. The next predecessor is
found by examining penult[10]
.
start |
The start node that was supplied in the call to
