Single Source Shortest Path using Dijkstra’s Algorithm | Greedy Method Explained
In this video, we dive deep into Dijkstra's Algorithm, a popular Greedy Method approach to solving the Single Source Shortest Path problem in graph theory.We begin by discussing the real-world applications of graphs, such as airport networks and highway structures [00:19]. You will learn how the algorithm uses the Node Relaxation technique [05:13] to find the shortest path from a source vertex to all other vertices in a weighted graph with non-negative edges.
The tutorial includes:
An introduction to optimization problems and the greedy approach.
A detailed step-by-step walkthrough of a 6-vertex graph example [05:29].
An explanation of the cost adjacency matrix and distance arrays.A breakdown of the algorithm's pseudocode [16:38].
Time complexity analysis O(n^2) [19:28].
