Optimal paths paths shortest distance from "summary" of Introduction to Graph Theory by Douglas Brent West
When we talk about finding the shortest distance between two vertices in a graph, we are essentially looking for the most efficient path to take from one point to another. This optimal path may not always be the most direct route, as there could be obstacles or weights on certain edges that make alternative paths more favorable. To determine the optimal path, we typically use algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm or the Bellman-Ford algorithm. These algorithms help us calculate the shortes...
