Topics: The Floyd-Warshall algorithm

The assignment consists of implementing the Floyd-Warshall all-pairs shortest-paths algorithm.

The Floyd-Warshall algorithm

As indicated by Exercise 25.2-4 on pages 634-635, you can simplify the algorithm by omitting all the dependencies on k when computing D. Note that this also works for computing PI. You can use the values 99 and 0 for "infinity" and "NIL" respectively.

Your program should read in n, the number of vertices, and then the n-by-n matrix of weights W (actually, you can read the weights directly into the matrix D).

Run your implementation of the Floyd-Warshall algorithm on each of the following graphs:

1. The graph of Figure 24.2 on page 585. As in the previous assignment relabel the vertices as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 instead of using the letters s, t, x, y, z respectively.
2. The graph of Figure 24.6 on page 596. As in the previous test relabel the vertices as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 instead of using the letters s, t, x, y, z respectively.
3. The graph of Figure 25.2 on page 627 (which already has numbered vertices, and so doesn't need relabeling).

For each of the tests, have your program print out the matrices D and PI initially and at the end of each iteration of the outer k-loop, as is done in Figure 25.4 on page 631 for the graph of Figure 25.1 (this is actually the hardest part). The format can be as shown in Figure 25.4 with PI(k) printed to the right of D(k), or PI(k) can be printed below D(k) as:

D(0)
PI(0)
D(1)
PI(1)
D(2)
PI(2)

D(n)
