+/**
+ * An implementation of Dial's Algorithm for the single-source shortest path problem.
+ * This algorithm is an optimization of Dijkstra's algorithm and is particularly
+ * efficient for graphs with small, non-negative integer edge weights.
+ *
+ * It uses a bucket queue (implemented here as a List of HashSets) to store vertices,
+ * where each bucket corresponds to a specific distance from the source. This is more
+ * efficient than a standard priority queue when the range of edge weights is small.
+ *
+ * Time Complexity: O(E + W * V), where E is the number of edges, V is the number
+ * of vertices, and W is the maximum weight of any edge.
+ *
+ * @see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm#Dial's_algorithm">Wikipedia - Dial's Algorithm</a>
