Class IntVertexDijkstraShortestPath<E>

  • Type Parameters:
    E - the graph edge type
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    ShortestPathAlgorithm<Integer,​E>
    public final class IntVertexDijkstraShortestPath<E>
extends Object
    Dijkstra Shortest Path implementation specialized for graphs with integer vertices.

    This class avoids using hash tables when the vertices are numbered from $0$ to $n-1$ where $n$ is the number of vertices of the graph. If vertices are not in this range, then they are mapped in this range using an open addressing hash table (linear probing).

    This implementation should be faster than our more generic one which is DijkstraShortestPath since it avoids the extensive use of hash tables.

    By default a 4-ary heap is used. The user is free to use a custom heap implementation during construction time. Regarding the choice of heap, it is generally known that it depends on the particular workload. For more details and experiments which can help someone make the choice, read the following paper: Larkin, Daniel H., Siddhartha Sen, and Robert E. Tarjan.
