single_source_bellman_ford_path_length

single_source_bellman_ford_path_length(G, source, weight='weight')

Compute the shortest path length between source and all other reachable nodes for a weighted graph.

Parameters

GNetworkX graph

sourcenode label

Starting node for path

weightstring or function (default=”weight”)

If this is a string, then edge weights will be accessed via the edge attribute with this key (that is, the weight of the edge joining u to v will be G.edges[u, v][weight]). If no such edge attribute exists, the weight of the edge is assumed to be one.

If this is a function, the weight of an edge is the value returned by the function. The function must accept exactly three positional arguments: the two endpoints of an edge and the dictionary of edge attributes for that edge. The function must return a number.

Returns

lengthiterator

(target, shortest path length) iterator

Raises

NodeNotFound

If source is not in G.

Notes

Edge weight attributes must be numerical. Distances are calculated as sums of weighted edges traversed.

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(5)
>>> length = dict(nx.single_source_bellman_ford_path_length(G, 0))
>>> length[4]
4
>>> for node in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]:
...     print(f"{node}: {length[node]}")
0: 0
1: 1
