An Improved Physarum polycephalum Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem

Algorithm 1

Improved Physarum polycephalum algorithm ( ).
// is an matrix, denotes the length between node and node , denotes the set of arcs.
// is the starting node, is the ending node
repeat
// the pressure at the ending node
 Calculate the pressure of every node using (5)
          
// Using (1)
// Using (6)
until a termination criterion is met
