Hi,
The Johnson's SP algorithm as implemented in the BGL does not easily
provide a way to determine whether two vertices are do have a path
between them. I include below a simplified version of the example
provided with the BGL.
Running it I get the output below:
D[0][0]=0
D[0][1]=3
D[0][2]=-4
D[1][0]=2147483647 <- no path between nodes '1' and '0'
D[1][1]=0
D[1][2]=2147483643 <- no path between nodes '1' and '2'
D[2][0]=-2147483645 <- no path between nodes '2' and '0'
D[2][1]=-2147483645 <- no path between nodes '2' and '1'
D[2][2]=0
That is, there isn't one single value that represents lack of
connectivity - one has to pick a value close enough to 'inf' and
discriminate with that.
Shouldn't 'inf' (however represented) describe lack of connectivity?
(To get around this problem, at the moment I run a transitive closure
before JSP and use the result of that to determine whether two vertices
are connected).
Does this make sense or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Andrea
