5.7 Minimum Routes


The cost of a route in the (di)graph G is the cost of the subgraph which is constructed by the route itself.Among all the routes from V(i) to V(j) in a graph,there is at least one with minimum cost.This route is called "minimum route" ,(m.r.).

The following algorithms are also examples of the greedy method or/and dynamic programming methods.

Problem of minimum routes by a starting point :A peak of the graph is given,and named as starting point.For every other peak,a m.r. is wanted for the starting point to the peak.The cost of this m.r. is also wanted.
