Overview

There are several algorithms that compute the shortest path between two vertices in a graph, and they can be used or not depending on the characteristics of the graph, such as whether is directed or undirected, the edges have weights, the weights are negative or not.

The Problem

The single-source shortest paths is formally defined as follows: given a directed graph G=(V, E) , with n = │V│ and m=│E│, where each edge has a non-negative length, and a source vertex s, compute for
