I  am currently thinking about Math IA on the topic of graph theory, but I don't know what to choose from there. I would like to do Dijkstra's algorithm and would like to know whether it would be complex enough for HL. I am thinking about the question of geographical traversal and finding the shortest path from London to Moscow using roads and cruises to cross the sea.

Djikstra's algorithm alone is not really enough for a math IA - it only covers about a page or so as a mostly standalone topic in the Discrete option. There are quite a few nice extensions from it though, so it could be a good starting point. Your mentioned topic on shortest paths could be a nice extension (travelling salesman and methods of solving it).

Hey, what have you done?
