Graph Algorithms

Procedures that work on graphs, the networks of points joined by links. Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest paths from one point to all others in a weighted graph such as a road network, and topological sorting orders the points of a directed graph so that every link runs forward, which is how tasks with prerequisites are scheduled. Both are standard tools in routing, planning and build systems.

Quote, Has Member: Topological Sort, Lead
In computer science, a topological sort or topological ordering of a directed graph is a linear ordering of its vertices such that for every directed edge (u,v) from vertex u to vertex v, u comes before v in the ordering.
