Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph with both positive and negative weights but no negative cycles, apply Dijkstra's algorithm and explain the steps taken.

💡 Hint: Remember to keep track of updates on distances based on the edges from the burnt vertices.

Question 2

Critique the utility of Dijkstra’s algorithm in real-world applications that involve routes with varied constraints such as tolls (negative weights).

💡 Hint: Consider examples where negative weights could change the optimal path drastically.
