dag.sp {RBGL}R Documentation

DAG shortest paths using boost C++

Description

Algorithm for the single-source shortest-paths problem on a weighted, directed acyclic graph (DAG)

Usage

dag.sp(g,start=nodes(g)[1])

Arguments

g instance of class graph
start source node for start of paths

Details

These functions are interfaces to the Boost graph library C++ routines for single-source shortest-paths on a weighted directed acyclic graph. Choose appropriate shortest-path algorithms carefully based on the properties of the input graph. See documentation in Boost Graph Library for more details.

Value

A list with elements:

distance The vector of distances from start to each node of g; includes Inf when there is no path from start.
penult A vector of indices (in nodes(g)) of predecessors corresponding to each node on the path from that node back to start. For example, if the element one of this vector has value 10, that means that the predecessor of node 1 is node 10. The next predecessor is found by examining penult[10].
start The start node that was supplied in the call to dag.sp.
