Description¶
Edward Moore’s Algorithm is an improvement of the Bellman-Ford Algorithm. It can compute the shortest paths from a single source vertex to all other vertices in a weighted directed graph. The main difference between Edward Moore’s Algorithm and Bellman Ford’s Algorithm lies in the run time.
The worst-case running time of the algorithm is \(O(| V | * | E |)\) similar to the time complexity of Bellman-Ford algorithm. However, experiments suggest that this algorithm has an average running time complexity of \(O( | E | )\) for random graphs. This is significantly faster in terms of computation speed.
Thus, the algorithm is at-best, significantly faster than Bellman-Ford algorithm and is at-worst,as good as Bellman-Ford algorithm
The main characteristics are:
- Values are returned when there is a path.
- When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.
- The agg_cost the non included values (v, v) is \(0\)
- When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the different and there is
no path:
- The agg_cost the non included values (u, v) is \(\infty\)
- When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.
- For optimization purposes, any duplicated value in the start vids or end vids are ignored.
- The returned values are ordered:
- start vid ascending
- end vid ascending
- Running time:
- Worst case: \(O(| V | * | E |)\)
- Average case: \(O( | E | )\)
