It is slower than breadth-first search.
It requires a complete graph.
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is a limitation of Dijkstra's algorithm?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what Dijkstra's algorithm does. It finds the shortest path from one point to another in a graph.
Step 2: Know that a graph can have edges with different weights, which represent the cost or distance between points.
Step 3: Recognize that some graphs can have negative weight edges, meaning the cost to travel between two points can decrease.
Step 4: Realize that Dijkstra's algorithm assumes that once it finds the shortest path to a point, it won't find a shorter one later.
Step 5: Understand that if there are negative weight edges, Dijkstra's assumption can be wrong, leading to incorrect shortest path results.
