All Pairs Shortest Path Problem Using Dynamic Programming || Floyd Warshall Algorithm || DAA

The video explains the Floyd Warshall algorithm, a dynamic programming approach to solve the All Pairs Shortest Path (APSP) problem in a weighted graph. The main focus is on understanding how to find the shortest paths between every pair of vertices using a matrix representation of the graph and iterative updates.

Main Ideas and Concepts

All Pairs Shortest Path Problem (APSP)

The goal is to find the shortest path between every pair of vertices in a graph.

Graph Representation

The graph is represented using an adjacency matrix.
Matrix entries represent the direct edge weights between vertices.
If no direct edge exists, the value is set to infinity (∞).

Dynamic Programming Approach

Floyd Warshall algorithm uses dynamic programming to iteratively update the shortest paths.
The algorithm considers each vertex as an intermediate point and updates the shortest path matrix accordingly.

Key Idea

For every pair of vertices (i, j), the algorithm checks if going through an intermediate vertex k provides a shorter path than the current known path. The matrix is updated with the minimum distance found.

Mathematical Expression

The core update step is:

dist[i][j] = min(dist[i][j], dist[i][k] + dist[k][j])

dist[i][j] is the shortest distance from vertex i to j.
k is the intermediate vertex being considered.

Algorithm Steps

Initialize the distance matrix with direct edge weights; use infinity where no edge exists.
For each vertex k (as an intermediate vertex):
- For each pair of vertices (i, j):
  - Update dist[i][j] as the minimum of the current value and the sum of dist[i][k] + dist[k][j].
After all iterations, dist[i][j] contains the shortest distance from i to j.

Time Complexity

The algorithm runs in O(n³) time, where n is the number of vertices.

Applications

Network routing
Finding shortest paths in maps
Any scenario requiring shortest paths between all pairs of points

Methodology / Instructions

Initialization

Create a 2D matrix dist of size n x n.
Set dist[i][j] to the weight of the edge from i to j.
If i == j, set dist[i][j] = 0.
If there is no edge between i and j, set dist[i][j] = ∞.

Algorithm Execution

For each vertex k from 1 to n: - For each vertex i from 1 to n: - For each vertex j from 1 to n: - Update dist[i][j] as: dist[i][j] = min(dist[i][j], dist[i][k] + dist[k][j])

Result

After completing the above loops, the matrix dist will contain the shortest distances between all pairs of vertices.
