The document discusses algorithms for solving the single-source shortest path problem, including Dijkstra's algorithm, Bellman-Ford algorithm, and shortest paths in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). It reviews the key ideas behind relaxation and how algorithms like Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra's use relaxation to iteratively improve the upper bound on shortest path distances. Running times of the algorithms are analyzed, with Dijkstra's algorithm taking O(ElogV) time and Bellman-Ford taking O(VE) time.
