Bellman-Ford 单源最短路径算法
Bellman-Ford 单源最短路径算法
Bellman-Ford 算法是一种用于计算带权有向图中单源最短路径(SSSP:Single-Source
Shortest Path)的算法。该算法由 Richard Bellman 和 Lester Ford 分别发表于 1958
年和 1956 年,而实际上 Edward F. Moore 也在 1957
年发布了相同的算法,因此,此算法也常被称为 Bellman-Ford-Moore 算法。
Bellman-Ford 算法和 Dijkstra
算法同为解决单源最短路径的算法。对于带权有向图
G = (V, E),Dijkstra 算法要求图 G 中边的权值均为非负,而 Bellman-Ford
算法能适应一般的情况(即存在负权边的情况)。一个实现的很好的
Dijkstra 算法比 Bellman-Ford 算法的运行时间要低。
Bellman-Ford 算法采用动态规划(Dynamic Programming)进行设计,实现的时间复杂度为
O(V*E),其中 V 为顶点数量,E 为边的数量。Dijkstra 算法采用贪心算法(Greedy
Algorithm)范式进行设计,普通实现的时间复杂度为 O(V2),若基于 Fibonacci
heap
的最小优先队列实现版本则时间复杂度为 O(E + VlogV)。
Bellman-Ford 算法描述:
创建源顶点 v 到图中所有顶点的距离的集合
distSet,为图中的所有顶点指定一个距离值,初始均为 Infinite,源顶点距离为 0;计算最短路径,执行 V - 1 次遍历;
- 对于图中的每条边:如果起点 u 的距离 d 加上边的权值 w 小于终点 v 的距离
d,则更新终点 v 的距离值 d;
- 对于图中的每条边:如果起点 u 的距离 d 加上边的权值 w 小于终点 v 的距离
检测图中是否有负权边形成了环,遍历图中的所有边,计算 u 至 v 的距离,如果对于
v 存在更小的距离,则说明存在环;
伪码实现如下:

1 BELLMAN-FORD(G, w, s) 2 INITIALIZE-SINGLE-SOURCE(G, s) 3 for i 1 to |V[G]| -
14 do for each edge (u, v) E[G] 5 do RELAX(u, v, w) 6 for each edge (u, v) E[G]
7 do if d[v] > d[u] + w(u, v) 8 then return FALSE 9 return TRUE

复制代码
Bellman-Ford 算法的运行时间为 O(V*E),因为第 2 行的初始化占用了 Θ(V),第 3-4
行对边进行了 V - 1 趟操作,每趟操作的运行时间为 Θ(E)。第 6-7 行的 for
循环运行时间为 O(E)。
例如,下面的有向图 G 中包含 5 个顶点和 8 条边。假设源点 为 A。初始化 distSet
所有距离为 INFI,源点 A 为 0。

由于图中有 5 个顶点,按照步骤 1 需要遍历 4 次,第一次遍历的结果如下。

第二次遍历的结果如下。

以此类推可以得出完全遍历的结果。
