Professor F. Lake suggests the following algorithm for finding the shortest path from node s to node t in a directed graph with some negative edges: add a large constant to each edge weight so that all the weights become positive, then run Dijkstra’s algorithm starting at node s, and return the shortest path found to node t.

Is this a valid method? Either prove that it works correctly, or give a counterexample.
