Weighted Graphs Similar to directional Graphs Added attribute called “weight” to the edges Used to designate a preference between edges Helps answer questions like What is the minimum spanning tree for a weighted graph? What is the shortest (or cheapest) distance from one vertex to another? © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved2

Minimum Spanning Tree The Algorithm Select a current vertex to start the tree Find all edges from the current vertex to vertices not already in the tree. Place them into a priority queue. Select the lowest priority edge from the queue add it and the destination vertex to the tree. Repeat until no more vertices to add. © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved11

Dijkstra’s Algorithm Developed in 1959 by Edsger Dijkstra Based on an adjacency matrix for a directed graph Finds the shortest path between one vertex to another Finds the shortest paths between a vertex and all other vertices Similar to Warshall’s algorithm but updates a path when it is shorter than a previous one © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved14

Floyd’s Algorithm Dijkstra’s algorithm for producing the All-Pairs Shortest Path Table runs in O(N 2 ) Floyds algorithm for the All-Pairs Shortest Path Table is more efficient because it uses a variation on Warshall’s algorithm. © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved19

Summary In a weighted graph, edges have an associated number called the weight, which might represent distances, costs, times, or other quantities. The minimum spanning tree in a weighted graph minimizes the weights of the edges necessary to connect all the vertices. An algorithm using a priority queue can be used to find the minimum spanning tree of a weighted graph. The minimum spanning tree of a weighted graph models real-world situations such as installing utility cables between cities. © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved21

Summary The shortest-path problem in a non-weighted graph involves finding the minimum number of edges between two vertices. Solving the shortest-path problem for weighted graphs yields the path with the minimum total edge weight. The shortest-path problem for weighted graphs can be solved with Dijkstra’s algorithm. The algorithms for large, sparse graphs generally run much faster if the adja- cency-list representation of the graph is used rather than the adjacency matrix. © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved22

Summary The all-pairs shortest-path problem is to find the total weight of the edges between every pair of vertices in a graph. Floyd’s algorithm can be used to solve this problem. Some graph algorithms take exponential time and are therefore not practical for graphs with more than a few vertices. © John Urrutia 2014, All Rights Reserved23
