Can somebody tell me why Dijkstra's algorithm for single source shortest path assumes that the edges must be non-negative.
I am talking about only edges not the negative weight cycles.
Recall that in Dijkstra's algorithm, once a vertex is marked as "closed" (and out of the open set) - the algorithm found the shortest path to it, and will never have to develop this node again - it assumes the path developed to this path is the shortest.
But with negative weights - it might not be true. For example:
A
/ \
/ \
/ \
5 2
/ \
B--(-10)-->C
V={A,B,C} ; E = {(A,C,2), (A,B,5), (B,C,-10)}
Dijkstra from A will first develop C, and will later fail to find A->B->C
EDIT a bit deeper explanation:
Note that this is important, because in each relaxation step, the algorithm assumes the "cost" to the "closed" nodes is indeed minimal, and thus the node that will next be selected is also minimal.
The idea of it is: If we have a vertex in open such that its cost is minimal - by adding any positive number to any vertex - the minimality will never change.
Without the constraint on positive numbers - the above assumption is not true.
Since we do "know" each vertex which was "closed" is minimal - we can safely do the relaxation step - without "looking back". If we do need to "look back" - Bellman-Ford offers a recursive-like (DP) solution of doing so.
Consider the graph shown below with the source as Vertex A. First try running Dijkstra’s algorithm yourself on it.
When I refer to Dijkstra’s algorithm in my explanation I will be talking about the Dijkstra's Algorithm as implemented below,
So starting out the values (the distance from the source to the vertex) initially assigned to each vertex are,
We first extract the vertex in Q = [A,B,C] which has smallest value, i.e. A, after which Q = [B, C]. Note A has a directed edge to B and C, also both of them are in Q, therefore we update both of those values,
Now we extract C as (2<5), now Q = [B]. Note that C is connected to nothing, so line16 loop doesn't run.
Finally we extract B, after which . Note B has a directed edge to C but C isn't present in Q therefore we again don't enter the for loop in line16,
So we end up with the distances as
Note how this is wrong as the shortest distance from A to C is 5 + -10 = -5, when you go .
So for this graph Dijkstra's Algorithm wrongly computes the distance from A to C.
This happens because Dijkstra's Algorithm does not try to find a shorter path to vertices which are already extracted from Q.
What the line16 loop is doing is taking the vertex u and saying "hey looks like we can go to v from source via u, is that (alt or alternative) distance any better than the current dist[v] we got? If so lets update dist[v]"
Note that in line16 they check all neighbors v (i.e. a directed edge exists from u to v), of u which are still in Q. In line14 they remove visited notes from Q. So if x is a visited neighbour of u, the path is not even considered as a possible shorter way from source to v.
In our example above, C was a visited neighbour of B, thus the path was not considered, leaving the current shortest path unchanged.
This is actually useful if the edge weights are all positive numbers, because then we wouldn't waste our time considering paths that can't be shorter.
So I say that when running this algorithm if x is extracted from Q before y, then its not possible to find a path - which is shorter. Let me explain this with an example,
As y has just been extracted and x had been extracted before itself, then dist[y] > dist[x] because otherwise y would have been extracted before x. (line 13 min distance first)
And as we already assumed that the edge weights are positive, i.e. length(x,y)>0. So the alternative distance (alt) via y is always sure to be greater, i.e. dist[y] + length(x,y)> dist[x]. So the value of dist[x] would not have been updated even if y was considered as a path to x, thus we conclude that it makes sense to only consider neighbors of y which are still in Q (note comment in line16)
But this thing hinges on our assumption of positive edge length, if length(u,v)<0 then depending on how negative that edge is we might replace the dist[x] after the comparison in line18.
So any dist[x] calculation we make will be incorrect if x is removed before all vertices v - such that x is a neighbour of v with negative edge connecting them - is removed.
Because each of those v vertices is the second last vertex on a potential "better" path from source to x, which is discarded by Dijkstra’s algorithm.
So in the example I gave above, the mistake was because C was removed before B was removed. While that C was a neighbour of B with a negative edge!
Just to clarify, B and C are A's neighbours. B has a single neighbour C and C has no neighbours. length(a,b) is the edge length between the vertices a and b.
Dijkstra's algorithm assumes paths can only become 'heavier', so that if you have a path from A to B with a weight of 3, and a path from A to C with a weight of 3, there's no way you can add an edge and get from A to B through C with a weight of less than 3.
This assumption makes the algorithm faster than algorithms that have to take negative weights into account.
Correctness of Dijkstra's algorithm:
We have 2 sets of vertices at any step of the algorithm. Set A consists of the vertices to which we have computed the shortest paths. Set B consists of the remaining vertices.
Inductive Hypothesis: At each step we will assume that all previous iterations are correct.
Inductive Step: When we add a vertex V to the set A and set the distance to be dist[V], we must prove that this distance is optimal. If this is not optimal then there must be some other path to the vertex V that is of shorter length.
Suppose this some other path goes through some vertex X.
Now, since dist[V] <= dist[X] , therefore any other path to V will be atleast dist[V] length, unless the graph has negative edge lengths.
Thus for dijkstra's algorithm to work, the edge weights must be non negative.
Dijkstra's Algorithm assumes that all edges are positive weighted and this assumption helps the algorithm run faster ( O(E*log(V) ) than others which take into account the possibility of negative edges (e.g bellman ford's algorithm with complexity of O(V^3)).
This algorithm wont give the correct result in the following case (with a -ve edge) where A is the source vertex:
Here, the shortest distance to vertex D from source A should have been 6. But according to Dijkstra's method the shortest distance will be 7 which is incorrect.
Also, Dijkstra's Algorithm may sometimes give correct solution even if there are negative edges. Following is an example of such a case:
However, It will never detect a negative cycle and always produce a result which will always be incorrect if a negative weight cycle is reachable from the source, as in such a case there exists no shortest path in the graph from the source vertex.
Try Dijkstra's algorithm on the following graph, assuming A is the source node and D is the destination, to see what is happening:
Note that you have to follow strictly the algorithm definition and you should not follow your intuition (which tells you the upper path is shorter).
The main insight here is that the algorithm only looks at all directly connected edges and it takes the smallest of these edge. The algorithm does not look ahead. You can modify this behavior , but then it is not the Dijkstra algorithm anymore.
You can use dijkstra's algorithm with negative edges not including negative cycle, but you must allow a vertex can be visited multiple times and that version will lose it's fast time complexity.
In that case practically I've seen it's better to use SPFA algorithm which have normal queue and can handle negative edges.
Recall that in Dijkstra's algorithm, once a vertex is marked as "closed" (and out of the open set) -it assumes that any node originating from it will lead to greater distance so, the algorithm found the shortest path to it, and will never have to develop this node again, but this doesn't hold true in case of negative weights.
The other answers so far demonstrate pretty well why Dijkstra's algorithm cannot handle negative weights on paths.
But the question itself is maybe based on a wrong understanding of the weight of paths. If negative weights on paths would be allowed in pathfinding algorithms in general, then you would get permanent loops that would not stop.
Consider this:
A <- 5 -> B <- (-1) -> C <- 5 -> D
What is the optimal path between A and D?
Any pathfinding algorithm would have to continuously loop between B and C because doing so would reduce the weight of the total path. So allowing negative weights for a connection would render any pathfindig algorithm moot, maybe except if you limit each connection to be used only once.
So, to explain this in more detail, consider the following paths and weights:
Path | Total weight
ABCD | 9
ABCBCD | 7
ABCBCBCD | 5
ABCBCBCBCD | 3
ABCBCBCBCBCD | 1
ABCBCBCBCBCBCD | -1
...
So, what's the perfect path? Any time the algorithm adds a BC step, it reduces the total weight by 2.
So the optimal path is A (BC) D with the BC part being looped forever.
Since Dijkstra's goal is to find the optimal path (not just any path), it, by definition, cannot work with negative weights, since it cannot find the optimal path.
Dijkstra will actually not loop, since it keeps a list of nodes that it has visited. But it will not find a perfect path, but instead just any path.
Adding few points to the explanation, on top of the previous answers, for the following simple example,
Dijktra's algorithm being greedy, it first finds the minimum distance vertex C from the source vertex A greedily and assigns the distance d[C] (from vertex A) to the weight of the edge AC.
The underlying assumption is that since C was picked first, there is no other vertex V in the graph s.t. w(AV) < w(AC), otherwise V would have been picked instead of C, by the algorithm.
Since by above logic, w(AC) <= w(AV), for all vertex V different from the vertices A and C. Now, clearly any other path P that starts from A and ends in C, going through V , i.e., the path P = A -> V -> ... -> C, will be longer in length (>= 2) and total cost of the path P will be sum of the edges on it, i.e., cost(P) >= w(AV) >= w(AC), assuming all edges on P have non-negative weights, so that
C can be safely removed from the queue Q, since d[C] can never get smaller / relaxed further under this assumption.
Obviously, the above assumption does not hold when some.edge on P is negative, in a which case d[C] may decrease further, but the algorithm can't take care of this scenario, since by that time it has removed C from the queue Q.
In Unweighted graph
Dijkstra can even work without set or priority queue, even if you just use STACK the algorithm will work but with Stack its time of execution will increase
Dijkstra don't repeat a node once its processed becoz it always tooks the minimum route , which means if you come to that node via any other path it will certainly have greater distance
For ex -
(0)
/
6 5
/
(2) (1)
\ /
4 7
\ /
(9)
here once you get to node 1 via 0 (as its minimum out of 5 and 6)so now there is no way you can get a minimum value for reaching 1
because all other path will add value to 5 and not decrease it
more over with Negative weights it will fall into infinite loop
In Unweighted graph
Dijkstra Algo will fall into loop if it has negative weight
In Directed graph
Dijkstra Algo will give RIGHT ANSWER except in case of Negative Cycle
Who says Dijkstra never visit a node more than once are 500% wrong
also who says Dijkstra can't work with negative weight are wrong
Imagine a graph where each vertex has a value (example, number of stones) and is connected through edges, that represents the cost of traversing that edge in stones. I want to find the largest possible amount of stones, such that each vertex Vn >= this value. Vertices can can exchange stones to others, but the value exchanged gets subtracted by the distance, or weight of the edges connecting them
I need to solve this as a greedy algorithm and in O(n) complexity, where n is the amount of vertices, but I have problems identifying the subproblems/greedy choice. I was hoping that someone could provide a stepping stone or some hints on how to accomplish this, much appreciated
Summary of Question
I am not sure I have understood the question correctly, so first I will summarize my understanding.
We have a graph with vertices v1,v2,..,vn and weighted edges. Let the weight between vi and vj be W[i,j]
Each vertex starts with a number of stones, let us call the number of stones on vertex vi equal to A[i]
You wish to perform multiple transfers in order to maximise the value of min(A[i] for i = 1..n)
x stones can be transferred between vi and vj if x>W[i,j], this operation transforms the values as:
A[i] -= x
A[j] += x-W[i,j] # Note fewer stones arrive than leave
Is this correct?
Response
I believe this problem is NP-hard because it can be used to solve 3-SAT, a known NP-complete problem.
For a 3-sat example with M clauses such as:
(A+B+!C).(B+C+D)
Construct a directed graph which has a node for each clause (with no stones), a node for each variable with 3M+1 stones, and two auxiliary nodes for each variable with 1 stone (one represents the variable having a positive value, and one represents the variable having a negative value.
Then connect the nodes as shown below:
This graph will have a solution with all vertices having value >= 1, if and only if the 3-sat is soluble.
The point is that each red node (e.g. for variable A) can only send stones to either A=1 or A=0, but not both. If we provide stones to the green node A=1, then this node can supply stones to all of the blue clauses which use that variable in a positive sense.
(Your original question does not involve a directed graph, but I doubt that this additional change will make a material difference to the complexity of the problem.)
Summary
I am afraid it is going to be very hard to get an O(n) solution to this problem.

In an undirected graph with n vertices and no edges, what is the maximum number of edges that can be added so that the graph remains unconnected? This is an interview question.
NC2
(N-1)C2
N!
(N-1)!
The maximum number of edges in a graph with N vertices is NC2 (link).
Note that, to remain unconnected, one of the vertices should not have any edges. More formally, there has to be a cut (across which there won't be any edges) with one side having only one vertex. Why not more than one vertex? Proof by induction:
The cases for 0, 1 and 2 vertices are trivial.
Consider a graph with 3 vertices. The best cut will be one with 2 vertices on one side and 1 vertex on the other side.
Now assume the best cut is one with N-1 vertices on one side and 1 vertex on the other with N >= 3. Now try to add a vertex. Adding the vertex to the side with one vertex will result in one edge that can be added. Adding the vertex to the other side will result in N-1 possible edges. Clearly N-1 > 1 for N >= 3. Thus it's always better to add the vertex to the side with N-1 vertices.
Now there are two ways to go from here:
Consider the graph without one of the edges. The maximum number of edges of this sub-graph is (N-1)C2.
Consider the maximum number of edges of the graph as is and subtract the number of edges from one vertex. This gives NC2 - (N-1) = N(N-1)/2 - 2(N-1)/2 = (N-2)(N-1)/2 = (N-1)C2.
So the answer is (N-1)C2, i.e. option 2.
b (n-1)C2
An example of such a graph is a complete graph of n-1 vertices and one isolated vertex.
In this example, the complement graph would have nC2 - (n-1)C2 = n-1 edges.
And either given graph or its complement is connected (proof).
Hence, if we constucted a graph with more than (n-1)C2 edges, then the complement would have less than n-1 edges and couldn't be connected, so our graph would be.

I am working on solving this problem:
Professor Gaedel has written a program that he claims implements Dijkstra’s algorithm.
The program produces v.d and v.π for each vertex v in V. Give an
O.(V + E)-time algorithm to check the output of the professor’s program. It should
determine whether the d and π attributes match those of some shortest-paths tree.
You may assume that all edge weights are nonnegative.
v.d is the shortest distance from starting node to v.
v.π is v's predecessor in the shortest path from starting node to v
My idea is:
For every vertex (i), compare i.d with (i.π).d. If i's predecessor has a larger d value then we cannot have a shortest-path tree.
I believe this can check if the professor's output is not a shortest-path tree, but I don't think it can confirm that the output is a shortest-path tree. I cannot think of a way to do this without more information.
Am I on the right track?
I think this would work
Do a DFS, but instead of following the regular graph edges, follow only the π value for each vertex. You're doing this to produce a topological ordering, so that the first vertex to finish will be the first vertex in the topological ordering. Note that the first vertex in the topo sort you produce will be the "source" vertex that was given to Gaedel's algorithm.
Now that you have a topo ordering, you can relax edges in the most efficient order, just like how you would do it on a DAG.
for each v in topoSortedVerts
if v.d_verify != v.d_Gaedel
//fail
for each u in v.adjacencies
relax(v, u)
if v.d_verify != v.d_Gaedel
//fail
I think you may also need to make sure all V verts are considered, and that the source vertex matches. Maybe. Also, I guess Gaedel's predecessor subgraph induced by the π values could be real jacked up and have all kinds of crazy things wrong with it, but I assume it doesn't.
It is O(V + E) because the outer loop runs V times, and the inner loop runs E times using aggregate analysis.
Can somebody tell me why Dijkstra's algorithm for single source shortest path assumes that the edges must be non-negative.
I am talking about only edges not the negative weight cycles.
Recall that in Dijkstra's algorithm, once a vertex is marked as "closed" (and out of the open set) - the algorithm found the shortest path to it, and will never have to develop this node again - it assumes the path developed to this path is the shortest.
But with negative weights - it might not be true. For example:
A
/ \
/ \
/ \
5 2
/ \
B--(-10)-->C
V={A,B,C} ; E = {(A,C,2), (A,B,5), (B,C,-10)}
Dijkstra from A will first develop C, and will later fail to find A->B->C
EDIT a bit deeper explanation:
Note that this is important, because in each relaxation step, the algorithm assumes the "cost" to the "closed" nodes is indeed minimal, and thus the node that will next be selected is also minimal.
The idea of it is: If we have a vertex in open such that its cost is minimal - by adding any positive number to any vertex - the minimality will never change.
Without the constraint on positive numbers - the above assumption is not true.
Since we do "know" each vertex which was "closed" is minimal - we can safely do the relaxation step - without "looking back". If we do need to "look back" - Bellman-Ford offers a recursive-like (DP) solution of doing so.
Consider the graph shown below with the source as Vertex A. First try running Dijkstra’s algorithm yourself on it.
When I refer to Dijkstra’s algorithm in my explanation I will be talking about the Dijkstra's Algorithm as implemented below,
So starting out the values (the distance from the source to the vertex) initially assigned to each vertex are,
We first extract the vertex in Q = [A,B,C] which has smallest value, i.e. A, after which Q = [B, C]. Note A has a directed edge to B and C, also both of them are in Q, therefore we update both of those values,
Now we extract C as (2<5), now Q = [B]. Note that C is connected to nothing, so line16 loop doesn't run.
Finally we extract B, after which . Note B has a directed edge to C but C isn't present in Q therefore we again don't enter the for loop in line16,
So we end up with the distances as
Note how this is wrong as the shortest distance from A to C is 5 + -10 = -5, when you go .
So for this graph Dijkstra's Algorithm wrongly computes the distance from A to C.
This happens because Dijkstra's Algorithm does not try to find a shorter path to vertices which are already extracted from Q.
What the line16 loop is doing is taking the vertex u and saying "hey looks like we can go to v from source via u, is that (alt or alternative) distance any better than the current dist[v] we got? If so lets update dist[v]"
Note that in line16 they check all neighbors v (i.e. a directed edge exists from u to v), of u which are still in Q. In line14 they remove visited notes from Q. So if x is a visited neighbour of u, the path is not even considered as a possible shorter way from source to v.
In our example above, C was a visited neighbour of B, thus the path was not considered, leaving the current shortest path unchanged.
This is actually useful if the edge weights are all positive numbers, because then we wouldn't waste our time considering paths that can't be shorter.
So I say that when running this algorithm if x is extracted from Q before y, then its not possible to find a path - which is shorter. Let me explain this with an example,
As y has just been extracted and x had been extracted before itself, then dist[y] > dist[x] because otherwise y would have been extracted before x. (line 13 min distance first)
And as we already assumed that the edge weights are positive, i.e. length(x,y)>0. So the alternative distance (alt) via y is always sure to be greater, i.e. dist[y] + length(x,y)> dist[x]. So the value of dist[x] would not have been updated even if y was considered as a path to x, thus we conclude that it makes sense to only consider neighbors of y which are still in Q (note comment in line16)
But this thing hinges on our assumption of positive edge length, if length(u,v)<0 then depending on how negative that edge is we might replace the dist[x] after the comparison in line18.
So any dist[x] calculation we make will be incorrect if x is removed before all vertices v - such that x is a neighbour of v with negative edge connecting them - is removed.
Because each of those v vertices is the second last vertex on a potential "better" path from source to x, which is discarded by Dijkstra’s algorithm.
So in the example I gave above, the mistake was because C was removed before B was removed. While that C was a neighbour of B with a negative edge!
Just to clarify, B and C are A's neighbours. B has a single neighbour C and C has no neighbours. length(a,b) is the edge length between the vertices a and b.
Dijkstra's algorithm assumes paths can only become 'heavier', so that if you have a path from A to B with a weight of 3, and a path from A to C with a weight of 3, there's no way you can add an edge and get from A to B through C with a weight of less than 3.
This assumption makes the algorithm faster than algorithms that have to take negative weights into account.
Correctness of Dijkstra's algorithm:
We have 2 sets of vertices at any step of the algorithm. Set A consists of the vertices to which we have computed the shortest paths. Set B consists of the remaining vertices.
Inductive Hypothesis: At each step we will assume that all previous iterations are correct.
Inductive Step: When we add a vertex V to the set A and set the distance to be dist[V], we must prove that this distance is optimal. If this is not optimal then there must be some other path to the vertex V that is of shorter length.
Suppose this some other path goes through some vertex X.
Now, since dist[V] <= dist[X] , therefore any other path to V will be atleast dist[V] length, unless the graph has negative edge lengths.
Thus for dijkstra's algorithm to work, the edge weights must be non negative.
Dijkstra's Algorithm assumes that all edges are positive weighted and this assumption helps the algorithm run faster ( O(E*log(V) ) than others which take into account the possibility of negative edges (e.g bellman ford's algorithm with complexity of O(V^3)).
This algorithm wont give the correct result in the following case (with a -ve edge) where A is the source vertex:
Here, the shortest distance to vertex D from source A should have been 6. But according to Dijkstra's method the shortest distance will be 7 which is incorrect.
Also, Dijkstra's Algorithm may sometimes give correct solution even if there are negative edges. Following is an example of such a case:
However, It will never detect a negative cycle and always produce a result which will always be incorrect if a negative weight cycle is reachable from the source, as in such a case there exists no shortest path in the graph from the source vertex.
Try Dijkstra's algorithm on the following graph, assuming A is the source node and D is the destination, to see what is happening:
Note that you have to follow strictly the algorithm definition and you should not follow your intuition (which tells you the upper path is shorter).
The main insight here is that the algorithm only looks at all directly connected edges and it takes the smallest of these edge. The algorithm does not look ahead. You can modify this behavior , but then it is not the Dijkstra algorithm anymore.
You can use dijkstra's algorithm with negative edges not including negative cycle, but you must allow a vertex can be visited multiple times and that version will lose it's fast time complexity.

The other answers so far demonstrate pretty well why Dijkstra's algorithm cannot handle negative weights on paths.
But the question itself is maybe based on a wrong understanding of the weight of paths. If negative weights on paths would be allowed in pathfinding algorithms in general, then you would get permanent loops that would not stop.
Consider this:
A <- 5 -> B <- (-1) -> C <- 5 -> D
What is the optimal path between A and D?
Any pathfinding algorithm would have to continuously loop between B and C because doing so would reduce the weight of the total path. So allowing negative weights for a connection would render any pathfindig algorithm moot, maybe except if you limit each connection to be used only once.
So, to explain this in more detail, consider the following paths and weights:
Path | Total weight
ABCD | 9
ABCBCD | 7
ABCBCBCD | 5
ABCBCBCBCD | 3
ABCBCBCBCBCD | 1
ABCBCBCBCBCBCD | -1
...
So, what's the perfect path? Any time the algorithm adds a BC step, it reduces the total weight by 2.
So the optimal path is A (BC) D with the BC part being looped forever.
Since Dijkstra's goal is to find the optimal path (not just any path), it, by definition, cannot work with negative weights, since it cannot find the optimal path.
Dijkstra will actually not loop, since it keeps a list of nodes that it has visited. But it will not find a perfect path, but instead just any path.
Adding few points to the explanation, on top of the previous answers, for the following simple example,
Dijktra's algorithm being greedy, it first finds the minimum distance vertex C from the source vertex A greedily and assigns the distance d[C] (from vertex A) to the weight of the edge AC.
The underlying assumption is that since C was picked first, there is no other vertex V in the graph s.t. w(AV) < w(AC), otherwise V would have been picked instead of C, by the algorithm.
Since by above logic, w(AC) <= w(AV), for all vertex V different from the vertices A and C. Now, clearly any other path P that starts from A and ends in C, going through V , i.e., the path P = A -> V -> ... -> C, will be longer in length (>= 2) and total cost of the path P will be sum of the edges on it, i.e., cost(P) >= w(AV) >= w(AC), assuming all edges on P have non-negative weights, so that
C can be safely removed from the queue Q, since d[C] can never get smaller / relaxed further under this assumption.
Obviously, the above assumption does not hold when some.edge on P is negative, in a which case d[C] may decrease further, but the algorithm can't take care of this scenario, since by that time it has removed C from the queue Q.

Dijkstra can even work without set or priority queue, even if you just use STACK the algorithm will work but with Stack its time of execution will increase
Dijkstra don't repeat a node once its processed becoz it always tooks the minimum route , which means if you come to that node via any other path it will certainly have greater distance

here once you get to node 1 via 0 (as its minimum out of 5 and 6)so now there is no way you can get a minimum value for reaching 1
because all other path will add value to 5 and not decrease it
more over with Negative weights it will fall into infinite loop

Dijkstra Algo will fall into loop if it has negative weight
In Directed graph
Dijkstra Algo will give RIGHT ANSWER except in case of Negative Cycle
Who says Dijkstra never visit a node more than once are 500% wrong
also who says Dijkstra can't work with negative weight are wrong
