Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class ogdf::AStarSearch< T >

A-Star informed search algorithm.

The algorithm is a generalization the the shortest path algorithm by Dijkstra. It was first described in "A Formal Basis for the Heuristic Determination of Minimum Cost Paths" by Hart, Nilsson and Raphael in 1968.

The algorithm yields an optimal solution to the single pair shortest pair problem. A heuristic for calculating a lower bound on the distance from any node to the target is optional. The algorithm can also be used to compute approximate solutions at a faster pace.

Template Parameters
TThe type of edge cost

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ AStarSearch()

template<typename T >
ogdf::AStarSearch< T >::AStarSearch ( const bool  directed = false,
const double  maxGap = 1,
const EpsilonTest et = EpsilonTest() 
)
inlineexplicit

Initializes a new A* search algorithm.

Parameters
directedWhether to traverse edges in both directions
maxGapThe maximal gap between the computed path costs and the optimal solution. The default of 1 leads to an optimal solution.
etThe ogdf::EpsilonTest to be used for comparing edge costs

Member Function Documentation

◆ call()

template<typename T >
T ogdf::AStarSearch< T >::call ( const Graph graph,
const EdgeArray< T > &  cost,
const node  source,
const node  target,
NodeArray< edge > &  predecessor,
std::function< T(node)>  heuristic = [](node) { return T(0); } 
)
inline

Computes the shortests path between source and target.

Parameters
graphThe graph to investigate
costThe positive cost of each edge
sourceThe start of the path to compute
targetThe end of the path to compute
predecessorWill contain the preceding edge of each node in the path predecessor[target] will be nullptr if no path could be found
heuristicThe heuristic to be used. Note that the type ogdf::NodeArray is implicitly applicable here. The default heuristic will always return the trivial lower bound of zero.
Returns
The total length of the found path
