<p>We will <em>ease in</em> with our own algorithm to find the shortest path. We will
start by thinking about the ways we can achieve that. If we didn&#x27;t have the <code>*</code>
cells, we could&#x27;ve easily run a BFS<sup><a href="#user-content-fn-1" id="user-content-fnref-1" data-footnote-ref="true" aria-describedby="footnote-label">1</a></sup> and be done with it. Maybe it is a good
place to start, or isn&#x27;t, there is only one way to find out though.</p>
<p><em>How does the BFS work?</em> We know the vertex where we start and we know the
vertex we want to find the shortest path to. Given this knowledge we
incrementally visit all of our neighbours and we do that over and over until the
destination is found<sup><a href="#user-content-fn-2" id="user-content-fnref-2" data-footnote-ref="true" aria-describedby="footnote-label">2</a></sup>. Could we leverage this somehow?</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="naïve-approach">Naïve approach<a href="#naïve-approach" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Naïve approach" title="Direct link to Naïve approach">​</a></h2>
<p>Well, we could probably start with all vertices being <em>unreachable</em> (having the
highest possible price) and try to improve what we&#x27;ve gotten so far until there
are no improvements. That sounds fine, we shall implement this. Since we are
going on repeat, we will name this function <code>bf()</code> as in <em>brute-force</em>, cause it
is trying to find it the hard way:</p>

<p>If you have a better look at the map, you will realize that the cost <code>22</code> is the
one path skipping the <code>*</code> cells, since they cost more than going around.</p>
<p>We can play around a bit with it. The <code>*</code> cells can be even vortices that pull
you in with a negative price and let you <em>propel</em> yourself out <!-- -->😉<!-- --> Let&#x27;s
change their cost to <code>-1</code> then. Let&#x27;s check what&#x27;s the fastest path to the cell.</p>

<p>And we&#x27;re somehow stuck… The issue comes from the fact that <em>spinning around</em> in
the vortices allows us to lower the cost infinitely. That&#x27;s why after each
iteration there is still a possibility to lower the cost, hence the algorithm
doesn&#x27;t finish. <em>What can we do about this?</em></p>

<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="fixing-the-infinite-loop">Fixing the infinite loop<a href="#fixing-the-infinite-loop" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Fixing the infinite loop" title="Direct link to Fixing the infinite loop">​</a></h3>
<p>Our issue lies in the fact that we can endlessly lower the cost. Such thing must
surely happen in some kind of a loop. We could probably track the relaxations
and once we spot repeating patterns, we know we can safely terminate with <em>some</em>
results at least.</p>
<p>This approach will not even work on our 2D map, let alone any graph. Problem is
that the <em>negative loops</em> lower the cost in <strong>each</strong> iteration and that results
in lowering of the costs to the cells that are reachable from the said loops.
That&#x27;s why this problem is relatively hard to tackle, it&#x27;s not that easy to spot
the repeating patterns algorithmically.</p>
<p>On the other hand, we can approach this from the different perspective. Let&#x27;s
assume the worst-case scenario (generalized for any graph):</p>

<p>The negative cost means that there is a way to <em>propel</em> ourselves via some
vortices. Let&#x27;s adjust the cost of <em>vortices</em> back to the original <code>5</code> and check
whether our modified algorithm works as it did before. And it surely does yield
the <code>22</code> as before.</p>

<p>If you have ever attended any Algorithms course that had path-finding in its
syllabus, you probably feel like you&#x27;ve seen the algorithm above before<sup><a href="#user-content-fn-3" id="user-content-fnref-3" data-footnote-ref="true" aria-describedby="footnote-label">3</a></sup>… And
yes, the first algorithm I have proposed is a very dumb version of the
<em>Bellman-Ford</em> algorithm, it&#x27;s dumb, because it loops <!-- -->😉<!-- --> After our “looping”
prevention we got to the point that is almost the <em>Bellman-Ford</em> with the one
exception that it doesn&#x27;t report whether there are any negative cycles, it just
ends.</p>
<p>Let&#x27;s have a look at a proper implementation of the Bellman-Ford algorithm:</p>

<p>You might be surprised that we have managed to iterate from a brute-force method
that mindlessly tries to find a better path until there are no better paths left
all the way to the Bellman-Ford algorithm.</p>
<p>I always say that Bellman-Ford is a <em>smart</em> brute-force. BF is also an algorithm
that leverages <em>dynamic programming</em>. You might wonder how can it utilize DP if
it is “technically” a brute-force technique. Table with the shortest distances
is the thing that makes it DP.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I might not know the shortest path yet, but I do remember all of other paths,
and I can improve them, if possible.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That&#x27;s where the beauty of both <em>dynamic programming</em> and <em>relaxing</em> gets merged
together and does its magic.</p>
<p>Proof of the correctness of the BF is done via induction to the number of
iterations. I would suggest to try to prove the correctness yourself and
possibly look it up, if necessary.</p>
<p>Also the correctness of the BF relies on the conclusion we&#x27;ve made when fixing
the infinite-loop on our naïve BF solution.</p>

<p>Let&#x27;s have a short look at the time complexities of the presented algorithms:</p>

<p>naïve approach: given that there are no negative loops, we are bound by the
worst-case ordering of the relaxations which results in</p>

<p>our naïve approach with the fixed count of iterations instead of the
<code>do-while</code> loop results in the same worst-case time complexity:</p>
