: Hi! Hm, if I have a look at what is written at [[Uniform-cost search]] (UCS) it quite fits the description of Dijkstras Algorithm. If you just replace root with source you will get a description of Dijkstras Algorithm. I am not absolutely certain why there are two Pages describing the same algorithm, but at the current state of the UCS article it (in a very simplified way) does describe Dijkstras Algorithm.

Ditto, as far as I can see Dijkstra is the same thing as uniform cost-search. I also have trouble seeing how Dijkstra is a special case of A* considering A* came after Dijkstra published his algorithm, the fact that the earlier can be seen as a derivation of the latter doesn't mean that it is a special case of A*.
