## Description

Edward Moore’s Algorithm is an improvement of the Bellman-Ford Algorithm. It can compute the shortest paths from a single source vertex to all other vertices in a weighted directed graph. The main difference between Edward Moore’s Algorithm and Bellman Ford’s Algorithm lies in the run time.

The worst-case running time of the algorithm is \(O(| V | * | E |)\) similar to the time complexity of Bellman-Ford algorithm. However, experiments suggest that this algorithm has an average running time complexity of \(O( | E | )\) for random graphs. This is significantly faster in terms of computation speed.

Thus, the algorithm is at-best, significantly faster than Bellman-Ford algorithm and is at-worst, as good as Bellman-Ford algorithm

The main characteristics are:
  - Values are returned when there is a path.
    - When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.
      - The agg_cost the non included values (v, v) is 0
    - When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the different and there is no path:
      - The agg_cost the non included values (u, v) is \(\infty\)
  - For optimization purposes, any duplicated value in the start_vids or end_vids are ignored.
  - The returned values are ordered:
    - start_vid ascending
    - end_vid ascending
  - Running time: - Worst case: \(O(| V | * | E |)\) - Average case: \(O( | E | )\)
