Hello,
I am trying to write a function to find all possible routes from the Start node, 6, to the Goal node, 21, with the given node matrix, A, as shown in the below.
A =
1 6
1 23
2 3
2 4
2 5
3 2
4 2
4 7
5 2
5 11
6 1
6 26
7 4
7 8
8 7
8 9
8 24
9 8
9 23
10 11
10 13
10 15
10 16
11 5
11 10
12 13
12 14
13 10
13 12
13 24
14 12
14 19
15 10
15 17
16 10

22 21
22 25
23 1
23 9
24 8
24 13
25 17
25 22
26 6
27 21
I would like to build a function which results the following outputs.
[6,1,23,9,8,7,4,2,5,11,10,15,17,25,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,7,4,2,5,11,10,15,17,16,18,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,7,4,2,5,11,10,16,17,25,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,7,4,2,5,11,10,16,18,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,24,13,10,15,17,25,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,24,13,10,16,17,25,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,24,13,10,16,18,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,24,13,12,14,19,18,16,10,15,17,25,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,24,13,12,14,19,18,16,17,25,22,21]
[6,1,23,9,8,24,13,12,14,19,18,22,21]
Thank you very much for your invaluable time to help on this problem.
Best regards,
Sunghun Jung

You effectively have an undirected graph. There are an infinite number of routes unless you add constraints.

I found actually 13 paths, more than the 10 you have listed:
[6 1 23 9 8 7 4 2 5 11 10 13 12 14 19 18 16 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 7 4 2 5 11 10 13 12 14 19 18 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 7 4 2 5 11 10 15 17 16 18 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 7 4 2 5 11 10 15 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 7 4 2 5 11 10 16 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 7 4 2 5 11 10 16 18 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 10 15 17 16 18 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 10 15 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 10 16 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 10 16 18 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 12 14 19 18 16 10 15 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 12 14 19 18 16 17 25 22 21]
[6 1 23 9 8 24 13 12 14 19 18 22 21]
Test code:
A =[ 1 6
1 23
2 3
2 4
2 5
3 2
4 2
4 7
5 2
5 11
6 1
6 26
7 4
7 8
8 7
8 9
8 24
9 8
9 23
10 11
10 13
10 15
10 16
11 5
11 10
12 13
12 14
13 10
13 12
13 24
14 12
14 19
15 10
15 17
16 10
16 17
16 18
17 15
17 16
17 25
18 16
18 19
18 22
19 14
19 18
19 20
20 19
21 22
21 27
22 18
22 21
22 25
23 1
23 9
24 8
24 13
25 17
25 22
26 6
27 21];
p = gallpaths(A,6,21);
for k=1:length(p)
fprintf('%s\n', mat2str(p{k}));
end
Using this function GALLPATHS I made
function p = gallpaths(A,start,last)
% find all direct paths from start to last
% A is (n x 2) each row is an edges
A = sortrows(A);
b = true(size(A,1),1);
p = gapengine(A,b,start,last);
end
function p = gapengine(A,b,start,last)
% recursive engine
if start==last
p = {last};
else
bs = A(:,1) == start;
next = A(bs & b,2);
p = {};
b(bs) = false;
for k=1:length(next)
i = next(k);
pk = gapengine(A,b,i,last);
pk = cellfun(@(p) [start, p], pk, 'unif', 0);
p = [p, pk];
end
end
end

Nope find all paths has exponential complexity. AFAIK this is intrinsic to the problem you want to solve rather than the algorithm.
