The chapter explores the Bellman-Ford algorithm as a method for finding the shortest paths in graphs, especially those containing negative edge weights. It discusses the limitations and assumptions of Dijkstra's algorithm and contrasts them with the reassurances provided by Bellman-Ford when negative cycles are not present. The emphasis is placed on the determination of shortest paths through systematic updates rather than greedy choices.
