As for what '''u''' is supposed to be, '''(u, v)''' is the entire edge, starting at vertex '''u''' and finishing at vertex '''v'''. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/125.239.41.100|125.239.41.100]] ([[User talk:125.239.41.100#top|talk]]) 03:46, 24 November 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Pop up shortest-path figure ==
The "shortest path" link in the first sentence pops up a figure whose caption refers to edge weights, yet the figure doesn't show any. [[User:Mdmi|Mdmi]] ([[User talk:Mdmi|talk]]) 21:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
:That is an issue with the [[shortest path problem]] article, not with this article. The pop-up always picks the first image in the article, and the first image of that article was not a particularly useful one. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 00:05, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

in this line what is u ? I beleive u should be changed to i or vice versa. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/49.203.64.216|49.203.64.216]] ([[User talk:49.203.64.216|talk]]) 08:38, 25 May 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:If there are n vertices, the algorithm needs to iterate n-1 times (as in the given pseudocode), not n times (as your change would have it). It starts out with one vertex having the correct distance (the starting vertex) and each iteration adds one more, so only n-1 iterations are needed until all are correct. If you implemented it correctly the nth iteration would be useless. Further, the case where exactly n-1 iterations are necessary should be unusual: it only happens when the shortest path runs through all vertices and the order of relaxation within an iteration is backwards for the edges of this path. So I strongly suspect it is some other bug in your program. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 08:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 
== Proposed Merger: [[SPFA]] into Optimizations ==
 
Pretty much all in the title. The Moore Optimization has a whole article, which takes its name after that in the Fanding Duan article (1994) which popularized it in China. The relevance of having a whole article for it, since its worst case is the same as Bellman-Ford, does not seem to meet the standard.
