Syllabus
  • Elementary graph algorithms (representations of graphs, breadth-first search, depth-first search, topological sort, strongly connected components).
  • Minimum spanning trees (growing a minimum spanning tree, the algorithms of Kruskal and Prim).
  • Single-source shortest paths (shortest paths and relaxation, Dijkstra's algorithm, the Bellman--Ford algorithm, single--source shortest paths in directed acyclic graphs).
  • All-pairs shortest paths (shortest paths and matrix multiplication, the Floyd-Warshall algorithm, Johnson's algorithm for sparse graphs).
  • Maximum flow (flow networks, the Ford-Fulkerson method, maximum bipartite matching).
  • Data structures for graph algorithms (binary heaps, priority queues, data structures for disjoint sets).
