To find the shortest path between two nodes in a graph in MATLAB, you can use Dijkstra's algorithm. This algorithm works by starting at the source node and iteratively visiting its neighbors, selecting the neighbor with the smallest distance to the source node, and updating the distances of its neighbors.
First, create an adjacency matrix specifying the edges and weights of the graph. Set the weights of non-existent edges to infinity.
Then, initialize the distances between the source node and all other nodes in the graph to infinity, except for the distance between the source node and itself, which should be 0.
Finally, implement Dijkstra's algorithm to update the distances and keep track of the path from the source node to the target node. Once the target node is reached, the shortest path can be reconstructed from the path vector.
Here's an example code snippet to find the shortest path between nodes 1 and 5:
main.m1104 chars47 lines
Output:
main.m26 chars2 lines
