Dijsktra in 1956 and published three years later, dijkstras algorithm is a one of the most known algorithms for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph. However, bellmanford and dijkstra are both singlesource, shortestpath algorithms. Using a heuristic for shortest paths dijkstras algorithm assumes it knows nothing about nodes it hasnt reached during the algorithm. Next shortest path is the shortest one edge extension of an already generated shortest path. Three different algorithms are discussed below depending on the usecase. The algorithm creates a tree of shortest paths from the starting vertex, the source, to all other points in the graph. When a vertex is marked known, the cost of the shortest path to that node is known the path is also known by following backpointers while a vertex is still not known, another shorter path to it mightstill be found note.
