Given an directed unweighted acylic graph, I am trying to adapt Floyd-Warshall algorithm to count the number of paths between 2 vertices. My code currently looks like this:
for all k in 1 to n
for all i in 1 to n
for all j in 1 to n
Aij = Aij + ( Aik * Akij).
Therefore, instead of checking and replacing for min distance, I am doing the following:
count of paths between (i,j) without k + ( count of paths from i to k * count of paths from k *j )
My final array, should have the number of paths between any 2 vertices.
I am not able to prove that this does not give me the count of simple paths between 2 vertices, but there are no suggestions to use this approach elsewhere.
Can someone provide a counter example where this fails?
PS: This is not my homework, but just a programming exercise I picked up.
