Hello,
I'm a beginner in graph algorithm, and I have trouble to find an efficient
solution for my issue.
My goal is to find X best paths between two vertices. Not only the shortest
paths, but sub optimals path, ordered by length.
My graph is relatively small (10k vertices, 20k edges) and is not directed.
I don't use weight or vertices/edges attributes.
My current prototype:
I use first all_shortest_paths to find the best paths.
Then I use all_paths with a cutoff = length of shortest_path + K . K is an
arbitrary value set as an argument of my function.
Finally, I sort the return of all_paths by path length and select the X
shortest.
It works fine when the vertices are close to each other, but when my cutoff
is over 20ish, the all_paths function take forever and my CPU usage
skyrockets. I can't even iterate with next() over the result. I understand
that all_paths is not very effective in my case, but at the moment this is
my best guess.
I'm reading the documentation of graph tools, but I cant find any other
function fitting my needs. I 'm considering using the function bfs_search
with a custom BFSVisitor, but I'm afraid i will encounter performance issues
too.
Am i missing something?
Anyways, thanks for this library, its impressive.
Sorry for my poor English.
Regards
