Johnson's Algorithm

Johnson's algorithm is an algorithm for finding shortest paths in a graph with edges with negative weights. It works by first reweighting the edges so that they are all non-negative, allowing the use of Dijkstra's algorithm. It does this by adding a dummy node connected to all others by zero-weight edges, running Bellman-Ford from this node to compute weight changes, and then reweighting edges and running Dijkstra's algorithm on the result. This allows it to solve the all-pairs shortest path problem in O(V^2 log V + VE) time, making it efficient for sparse graphs.

Floyd-Warshell algorithm -- (V ) Johnsons algorithm -- Johnson has defined an algorithm that takes advantage of the sparse nature of most graphs, with directed edges and no cycles. With these assumptions, he gets better results than the naive algorithm. -- Bases on Bellman-Ford algorithm, reweighting method, and Dijkstra algorithm. -(V log V + VE)

Johnsons Algorithm
 

What is the good time to use it? Johnsons algorithm uses the a method reweighting.

Johnsons Algorithm


Why (V log V + VE) ? -- Do V times of Dijkstra.


{s} V[G] }, and

Following is a pseudo code of Johnsons algorithm.


Compute G, where V[G] = V[G] E[G] = E[G]

{(s, v): v

w(s, v) = 0 for all v

V[G]

If BELLMAN-FORD(G, w, s) = FALSE then print the input graph contains a negative weight cycle

else for each vertex v V[G] do set h(v) to the value of (s, v) computed by the Bellman-Ford alg. for each edge (u, v) do (u, v) for each vertex u E[G]

w(u, v) + h(u) h(v) V[G] V[G]

do run DIJKSTRA(G, , u) to compute (s, v) for all v for each vertex v do d(u, v) return D V[G] (s, v) + h(v) h(u)

Johnsons Algorithm


The reweighting function By reweighting, we have a new set of edge weights which must satisfy two important properties. (u, v) = w(u, v) + h(u) h(v) 1. For all pairs of vertice u, v V, a path p is a shortestpath from u to v using weight function w if and only if p is also a shortest path from u to v using weight function . 2. For all edges (u, v), the new weight (u, v) is nonnegative. So it doesnt change shortest paths, but reweight to a nonnegative value.

An example of Johnsons Algorithm
