Previously, we watched Tim Berners-Lee knit the world together with the Web, giving us pages to browse and links to click. But a web of information is ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Picture this: you’ve decided to host a dinner party. The guest list is small but important. You spend the week cleaning the house, polishing the silver, and making sure every detail reflects care. You ...

ABSTRACT: In any military operation, reliable logistics is essential to maintaining a combat-effective force. Without the continual resupply of ammunition, food, and other materiel, forces cannot ...

Abstract: Shortest path mining is one of the classic problems in graph theory. How to design an efficient multi-source shortest paths mining algorithm has practical significance. In this article, an ...

Finding the shortest path in a network is a classical problem, and a variety of search strategies have been proposed to solve it. In this paper, we review traditional approaches for finding shortest ...

Graph theory is an integral component of algorithm design that underlies sparse matrices, relational databases, and networks. Improving the performance of graph algorithms has direct implications to ...

The goal of this project is to compare two well-known algorithms for finding the shortest path in a graph – Dijkstra's Algorithm and Bellman-Ford Algorithm. The implementation should allow for the ...
