Class BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath<V,E>

java.lang.Object

org.jgrapht.alg.shortestpath.BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath<V,E>

Type Parameters:

V - the graph vertex type

E - the graph edge type

All Implemented Interfaces:

ShortestPathAlgorithm<V,E>

public final class BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath<V,E>
extends Object

A bidirectional version of Dijkstra's algorithm.

See the Wikipedia article for details and references about bidirectional search. This technique does not change the worst-case behavior of the algorithm but reduces, in some cases, the number of visited vertices in practice. This implementation alternatively constructs forward and reverse paths from the source and target vertices respectively.

Constructor Detail

BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath

public BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath(Graph<V,E> graph)

Constructs a new instance for a specified graph.

Parameters:

graph - the input graph

BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath

public BidirectionalDijkstraShortestPath(Graph<V,E> graph,
                                         double radius)

Constructs a new instance for a specified graph.

Parameters:

graph - the input graph

radius - limit on path length, or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY for unbounded search

Method Detail

getPath

public GraphPath<V,E> getPath(V source,
                              V sink)

Description copied from interface: ShortestPathAlgorithm

Get a shortest path from a source vertex to a sink vertex.

Parameters:

source - the source vertex

sink - the target vertex

Returns:

a shortest path or null if no path exists

findPathBetween

public static <V,E> GraphPath<V,E> findPathBetween(Graph<V,E> graph,
                                                   V source,
                                                   V sink)

Find a path between two vertices. For a more advanced search (e.g. limited by radius), use the constructor instead.

Type Parameters:

V - the graph vertex type

E - the graph edge type

Parameters:

graph - the graph to be searched

source - the vertex at which the path should start

sink - the vertex at which the path should end

Returns:

a shortest path, or null if no path exists

getPaths

public ShortestPathAlgorithm.SingleSourcePaths<V,E> getPaths(V source)

Compute all shortest paths starting from a single source vertex.

Specified by:

getPaths in interface ShortestPathAlgorithm<V,E>

Parameters:

source - the source vertex

Returns:

the shortest paths

getPathWeight

public double getPathWeight(V source,
                            V sink)

Get the weight of the shortest path from a source vertex to a sink vertex. Returns Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY if no path exists.

Specified by:

getPathWeight in interface ShortestPathAlgorithm<V,E>

Parameters:

source - the source vertex

sink - the sink vertex

Returns:

the weight of the shortest path from a source vertex to a sink vertex, or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY if no path exists

createEmptyPath

protected final GraphPath<V,E> createEmptyPath(V source,
                                               V sink)

Create an empty path. Returns null if the source vertex is different than the target vertex.

Parameters:

source - the source vertex

sink - the sink vertex

Returns:

an empty path or null null if the source vertex is different than the target vertex
