On the shortest route through a network.
ResearchPublished 1959
A procedure for finding the shortest route from a given origin to all other nodes in the network or to a particular destination point when little effort is required to arrange distances in increasing order by nodes or to skip consideration of arcs into nodes whose shortest route to the origin has been determined earlier in the computation. It is shown that n(n-1)/2 comparisons are needed to obtain the shortest route from a given origin to all other nodes and less between two fixed nodes.
