Implementation of an Undirected Weighted Graph and Dijkstra's Algorithm
Introduction
Graphs are fundamental data structures used in computer science and related fields to represent connections between various entities. In this assignment, we are required to build an undirected weighted graph using an adjacency list representation and implement Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest paths from a source node to all other nodes in the graph. The implications of using an adjacency matrix representation in lieu of an adjacency list are also discussed.
1. Graph Data Structure Implementation
We choose Python for our implementation due to its simplicity and readability, which is beneficial for understanding the structure. Below is the implementation of the graph class using an adjacency list.
```python
class Graph:
def __init__(self):
self.graph = {}
def add_edge(self, u, v, weight):
if u not in self.graph:
self.graph[u] = []
if v not in self.graph:
self.graph[v] = []
self.graph[u].append((v, weight))
self.graph[v].append((u, weight)) # Because graph is undirected
def display(self):
for node in self.graph:
edges = ', '.join([f"{adj}({weight})" for adj, weight in self.graph[node]])
print(f"{node}: {edges}")
```
2. Collecting Graph Data
In the program, we will prompt users to input the graph structure, specifying edges and weights. Below is an example of how this will be implemented.
```python
def create_graph():
g = Graph()
n = int(input("Enter the number of edges: "))
for _ in range(n):
u, v, weight = input("Enter edge (u v weight): ").split()
g.add_edge(u, v, int(weight))
print("Graph adjacency list:")
g.display()
return g
```
3. Implementing Dijkstra’s Algorithm
We will now implement Dijkstra’s algorithm, which computes the shortest path from a source node to other nodes in the graph. Below is the Python implementation of the algorithm:
```python
import heapq
def dijkstra(graph, start):
distances = {node: float('infinity') for node in graph.graph}
distances[start] = 0
priority_queue = [(0, start)]
while priority_queue:
current_distance, current_node = heapq.heappop(priority_queue)
if current_distance > distances[current_node]:
continue
for neighbor, weight in graph.graph[current_node]:
distance = current_distance + weight
if distance < distances[neighbor]:
distances[neighbor] = distance
heapq.heappush(priority_queue, (distance, neighbor))
return distances
def display_shortest_paths(distances):
print(f"{'End Node':<10}{'Path':<20}{'Distance'}")
for node in distances:
print(f"{node:<10}{node:<20}{distances[node]}")
```
4. Running the Program
To run the program, include the following main function that ties everything together:
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
graph = create_graph()
start_node = input("Enter the starting node for Dijkstra's algorithm: ")
shortest_paths = dijkstra(graph, start_node)
display_shortest_paths(shortest_paths)
```
Testing the Implementation
After implementing the above code, we can test the implementation using specific example graphs.
For example, given `Graph 1` with edges (A, B, 1), (A, C, 4), (B, C, 2), and (B, D, 5), the output of the Dijkstra's algorithm starting from node A should look like the following:
```
End Node Path Distance
A A 0
B B 1
C B -> C 3
D B -> D 6
```
5. Adjacency List vs Adjacency Matrix
Switching to an adjacency matrix representation could have significant implications in terms of both performance and memory usage. An adjacency matrix uses a 2D array where `matrix[i][j]` indicates if there is an edge between vertices `i` and `j`, along with the weight of that edge. This structure simplifies checking for the existence of edges at the cost of increased space complexity. For dense graphs, adjacency matrices could be more efficient, but for sparse graphs like in our implementation, the adjacency list is preferred as it uses less space and is often more efficient for typical operations (Cormen et al., 2009; Sedgewick & Wayne, 2011).
Conclusion
In this assignment, we implemented a simple undirected weighted graph using an adjacency list and applied Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest paths from a specified starting node. The use of an adjacency list provides a memory-efficient way of representing sparse graphs and works effectively with Dijkstra’s algorithm.
