 * @author [Marinovksy](http://github.com/Marinovsky)
 *
 * @details
 * This is basically the same Dijkstra Algorithm but faster because it goes from
 * the source to the target and from target to the source and stops when
 * finding a vertex visited already by the direct search or the reverse one.
 * Here some simulations of it:
