Heaps and Bounds The story of this iconic path-finding algorithm began with a detour. In 1956, the 26-year-old Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra wanted to write a program that would show off ...

Award-winning advance increases network performance, that could mean faster response times for drone navigation, telecoms, disaster evacuation.

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...
