It is an approach of finding all pair shortest path with the O(V3) time complexity, where V is the number of vertices in the graph.

Problem
AN EXAMPLE OF DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING

2. 2Floyd-Warshall algorithm for shortest
path:
 Use a different dynamic-programming formulation
to solve the all-pairs shortest-paths problem on a
directed graph G=(V,E).
 The resulting algorithm, known as the Floyd-
Warshall algorithm, runs in O (V3) time.
 negative-weight edges may be present,
 but we shall assume that there are no negative-weight cycles.

3. 3
A recursive solution to the all-pairs
shortest paths problem:
 Let dij
(k) be the weight of a shortest path from vertex i to vertex j with all
intermediate vertices in the set {1,2,…,k}. A recursive definition is given
by
 dij
(k)= wij if k=0,
 min(dij
(k-1),dik
(k-1)+dkj
(k-1)) if k 1.
 The matrix D(n)=(dij
(n)) gives the final answer-dij
(n)=
for all i,j V-because all intermediate vertices are in the set {1,2,…,n}.
