Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

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 ...

David Bailey, President and CEO, reported that "in the third quarter, we supported the treatment of more than 37,100 children, increasing our total impact to approximately 1.3 million kids' health." ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

“Show me the data.” If you’ve attended a House Health committee meeting, it’s likely you’ve heard me say this in response to misinformation and disinformation about why New Mexico — and the country — ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the shortest path planning of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in complicated marine environments. A novel path planning method called “sunlight algorithm” is first ...

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 sustain their ...
