2 Paths in graphs Consider a digraph G = (V, E) with edge-weight function w : E R. The weight of path p = v 1 v L v k is defined to be k 1 i= 1 w ( p) = w( v i, v i + 1). November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.
3 Paths in graphs Consider a digraph G = (V, E) with edge-weight function w : E R. The weight of path p = v 1 v L v k is defined to be Example: k 1 i= 1 w ( p) = w( v i, v i + 1). v 1 v v 3 v 5 v v w(p) = November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.3
4 Shortest paths A shortest path from u to v is a path of minimum weight from u to v. The shortestpath weight from u to v is defined as δ(u, v) = min{w(p) : p is a path from u to v}. Note: δ(u, v) = if no path from u to v exists. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.4

12 Single-source shortest paths Problem. From a given source vertex s V, find the shortest-path weights δ(s, v) for all v V. If all edge weights w(u, v) are nonnegative, all shortest-path weights must exist. IDEA: Greedy. 1. Maintain a set S of vertices whose shortestpath distances from s are known.. At each step add to S the vertex v V S whose distance estimate from s is minimal. 3. Update the distance estimates of vertices adjacent to v. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D.

27 Correctness Part I Lemma. Initializing d[s] 0 and d[v] for all v V {s} establishes d[v] δ(s, v) for all v V, and this invariant is maintained over any sequence of relaxation steps. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.7
28 Correctness Part I Lemma. Initializing d[s] 0 and d[v] for all v V {s} establishes d[v] δ(s, v) for all v V, and this invariant is maintained over any sequence of relaxation steps. Proof. Suppose not. Let v be the first vertex for which d[v] < δ(s, v), and let u be the vertex that caused d[v] to change: d[v] = d[u] + w(u, v). Then, d[v] < δ(s, v) supposition δ(s, u) + δ(u, v) triangle inequality δ(s,u) + w(u, v) sh. path specific path d[u] + w(u, v) v is first violation Contradiction. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.8
29 Correctness Part II Lemma. Let u be v s predecessor on a shortest path from s to v. Then, if d[u] = δ(s, u) and edge (u, v) is relaxed, we have d[v] = δ(s, v) after the relaxation. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.9
30 Correctness Part II Lemma. Let u be v s predecessor on a shortest path from s to v. Then, if d[u] = δ(s, u) and edge (u, v) is relaxed, we have d[v] = δ(s, v) after the relaxation. Proof. Observe that δ(s, v) = δ(s, u)+ w(u, v). Suppose that d[v] > δ(s, v) before the relaxation. (Otherwise, we re done.) Then, the test d[v] > d[u] + w(u, v) succeeds, because d[v] > δ(s, v) = δ(s, u)+ w(u, v) = d[u] + w(u, v), and the algorithm sets d[v] = d[u] + w(u, v) = δ(s, v).

31 Correctness Part III Theorem. Dijkstra s algorithm terminates with d[v] = δ(s, v) for all v V. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.31
32 Correctness Part III Theorem. Dijkstra s algorithm terminates with d[v] = δ(s, v) for all v V. Proof. It suffices to show that d[v] = δ(s, v) for every v V when v is added to S. Suppose u is the first vertex added to S for which d[u] >δ(s, u). Let y be the first vertex in V S along a shortest path from s to u, and let x be its predecessor: S, just before adding u. ss xx yy uu November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.3
33 Correctness Part III (continued) ss S xx yy uu Since u is the first vertex violating the claimed invariant, we have d[x] = δ(s, x). When x was added to S, the edge (x, y) was relaxed, which implies that d[y] =δ(s, y) δ(s, u) < d[u]. But, d[u] d[y] by our choice of u. Contradiction. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.33

59 Correctness of BFS while Q do u DEQUEUE(Q) for each v Adj[u] do if d[v] = then d[v] d[u] + 1 ENQUEUE(Q, v) Key idea: The FIFO Q in breadth-first search mimics the priority queue Q in Dijkstra. Invariant: v comes after u in Q implies that d[v] = d[u] or d[v] = d[u] + 1. November 14, 005 Copyright by Erik D. Demaine and Charles E. Leiserson L17.59
