Bellman Ford Algorithm vs Dijkstra s algorithm

Posted By : Aryan Chaurasia | 20-Jun-2022

A Graph is a finite set of vertex and edges. These vertexes are connected with the help of Edges.

ex. Google map in uses of Graph for building transportation System where the intersection of towards

is considered to be a vertex and a road is connecting two vertices is deemed to be an edge

.In this case to find the shortest path we use Dijkstra Algorithms and Bellman-Ford Algorithms.


Why do we use Bellman-Ford Algorithms vs Dijkastra Algorithms?


In the case Of Negative Weight Dijkastra Algorithms failed to find Shortest Path so we can use Bellman-Ford Algorithms.

Time CoThe complexity of Dijkstra Algorithms is less than Bellman-Ford Algorithms.

in the Dijkastra  Time Complexity is O((V+E)LogV) . but in the case Of Bellman-Ford

algorithm complexity is O(VE)


Single Single-Sources Path Algorithms.                                                                        


1 . Dijkastra Algorithms.                                                                                                                                      

2 . Bellman-Ford Algorithms                                                                                                                                                                          

we use this algorithm to find the shortest path in the graph.                                                                

Bellman-Ford Algorithms.                                                        

Bellman-Ford Algorithms are used for finding the shortest distance to source and Destination.

In the case Of a negative weight edge its works.                                                                   

1. Bellman-Ford Algorithms is for (-) ve weight edge present.

2 . this algorithm does not allow for (-)ve weight cycle.

 

Following are the detailed steps.

Step 1 .   initializes the distances from the source to all vertices as infinite and the distance to itself as 0.

Create an array dist[] of size |V| with all values as infinite except dist[src] where src is the source vertex.

Step 2 . We use these steps to calculate the shortest distances. we find the following |V|-1 times where |V| is the number of vertices in the given graph. 

Steps 3 . This step reports if there is a negative weight cycle in graph. then we move single steps for check negative weight cycle           

public HashMap<String,Integer>bellmanFord(String src){
   ArrayList<EdgePair>edge=getAMEdges();
   HashMap<String,Integer>map=new HashMap<>();
    for(String vname :vtces.keySet()){
       map.put(vname,10000000);
                                                             
        if(src.equals(vname)){        
             map.put(vname,0);
         }
      }
       int v=vtces.size();
       for(int i=1;i<v-1;i++){
          for(EdgePair edge:edges){
             int oc=map.get(edge.v2);   
             int nc=map.get(edge.v1)+edge.coast;
             if(oc>nc){
               map.put(edge.v2,nc);
             }                                  

           }                                                  
       }                                  
}
