    public class DijkstraManyToManyShortestPaths<V,​E>
    extends Object
    Naive algorithm for many-to-many shortest paths problem using DijkstraClosestFirstIterator.

    Complexity of the algorithm is $O(min(|S|,|T|)*(V\log V + E))$, where $S$ is the set of source vertices, $T$ is the set of target vertices, $V$ is the set of graph vertices and $E$ is the set of graph edges of the graph.

    For each source vertex a single source shortest paths search is performed, which is stopped as soon as all target vertices are reached. Shortest paths trees are constructed using DijkstraClosestFirstIterator. In case $|T| > |S|$ the searches are performed on the reversed graph using $|T|$ as source vertices and $|S|$ as target vertices. This allows to reduce the total number of searches from $|S|$ to $min(|S|,|T|)$.

    The main bottleneck of this algorithm is the memory usage to store individual shortest paths trees for every source vertex, as they may take a lot of space. Considering this, the typical use case of this algorithm are small graphs or large graphs with small total number of source and target vertices.
