The Bellman-Ford Algorithm is a popular algorithm for computing the shortest paths from a single source vertex to all the other vertices in a weighted digraph. It is widely used in network routing protocols and is also useful in other applications such as detecting negative cycles in a graph.
Here are the steps involved in the Bellman-Ford Algorithm:
- Initialize the distance to the source vertex as 0 and the distance to all other vertices as infinity.
- Repeat the following step V – 1 times, where V is the total number of vertices in the graph:
a. For each edge (u, v) in the graph, calculate the distance to vertex v as the minimum of its current distance and the distance to vertex u plus the weight of the edge (u, v). - Check for the presence of negative cycles in the graph by repeating step 2 and checking if any distance is updated. If a distance is updated, then there is a negative cycle in the graph.
- Return the distances to all the vertices as the output of the algorithm.
Example of finding the shortest paths from vertex A to all the other vertices in the following weighted digraph using the Bellman-Ford Algorithm:
-1 4 A --------> B | | \ | 2 | 3 v v v C --------> D ---> E 2 -3
- Initialize the distance to vertex A as 0 and the distance to all other vertices as infinity: dist[A] = 0, dist[B] = dist[C] = dist[D] = dist[E] = infinity.
- Repeat the following step 4 times: a. For each edge (u, v) in the graph, calculate the distance to vertex v as the minimum of its current distance and the distance to vertex u plus the weight of the edge (u, v).
- For edge (A, B): dist[B] = min(dist[B], dist[A] + weight(A, B)) = min(infinity, 0 + 4) = 4.
- For edge (A, C): dist[C] = min(dist[C], dist[A] + weight(A, C)) = min(infinity, 0 + 2) = 2.
- For edge (B, D): dist[D] = min(dist[D], dist[B] + weight(B, D)) = min(infinity, 4 + 3) = 7.
- For edge (B, E): dist[E] = min(dist[E], dist[B] + weight(B, E)) = min(infinity, 4 + -3) = 1.
- For edge (C, D): dist[D] = min(dist[D], dist[C] + weight(C, D)) = min(7, 2 + 2) = 4.
- For edge (D, E): dist[E] = min(dist[E], dist[D] + weight(D, E)) = min(1, 7 + -3) = 1.
b. The distances after each iteration are: - dist[A] = 0, dist[B] = 4, dist[C] = 2, dist[D] = 4, dist[E] = 1.
- Check for the presence of negative cycles by repeating step 2 and checking if any distance is updated. Since no distance is updated in this step, there is no negative cycle in the graph.
- Return the distances to all the vertices as the output of the algorithm: dist[A] = 0, dist[B] = 4, dist[C] =
