Published a concise dynamic-programming procedure for computing shortest-path distances between all pairs of vertices in a weighted network.

What is recorded here?

Published a concise dynamic-programming procedure for computing shortest-path distances between all pairs of vertices in a weighted network.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Floyd's sole-author 1962 Algorithm 97 note. It remains distinct from Warshall's Boolean transitive-closure recurrence, later negative-cycle handling and subsequent implementation refinements.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
