However, any shortest-paths algorithm must, at the worst case, visit each edge at least once, so the worst-case time complexity must contain a term that depends on E. According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm#Running_time , the running time is O(E + V log V) if you use a Fibonacci heap. Also, note that in this page: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/libs/graph/doc/dag_shortest_paths.html you say that for a DAG, ""The time complexity is O(V + E)"", and it is generally more efficient than Dijkstra's algorithm. However, in the worst case, E might be O(V^2), which is worst than V log V! ",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,graph,Boost 1.44.0,Problem,fixed,,
