Question

I have a directed, positive weighted graph. Each edge have a cost of use. I have only A money, i want to calculate shortest paths with dijkstra algorithm, but sum of edges costs on route must be less or equal to A.

I want to do this with most smallest Dijstra modification (if I can do it with small modification of Dijkstra). I must do this in O(n*log(n)) if I can, but i think i can.

Anyone can help me with this?

Was it helpful?

OTHER TIPS

You don't really need to modify Dijkstra's algorithm to do this as the answer is equivalent to finding the shortest path and then accepting it if it's less than or equal to A.

Of course, you could always short circuit the inner loop if you visit a path with a cost more than A.

EDIT: With the clarification that you want to minimize cost AND distance, you can't do that without clarifying the solution you want. Do you want the cheapest path? Do you want the shortest path? Do you want some function of cost and distance? All of these determine what weighting function you should use for a particular edge.
