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 for ...

Dijkstra's algorithm has long been the quickest way of finding the shortest possible paths in a network, but researchers have ...

A quantum computer is a machine designed to use quantum mechanics to do things which cannot be done by any machine based only on the laws of classical physics. Eventual applications of quantum ...

Computer programmers have developed a new 'cutting-plane' algorithm, a general-purpose algorithm for solving optimization problems. The algorithm improves on the running time of its most efficient ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of London have already expanded on the MIT researchers’ approach to develop a new quantum algorithm for solving differential equations. Early in their paper, they ...

Long ago computers and machines began to replace blue collar jobs but as creatives we thought we were safe. Have we now reached the tipping point when computers can replace even the photo editor? In ...

Google's Quantum Echoes algorithm brings us closer to a world where quantum technology has useful applications. Here's what ...

When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his advisers proposed a modest plan: to work together on one of the most famous, long-standing problems in theoretical computer science. Even ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . A novel computer-based algorithm can track the progress of hair loss in patients with various types of alopecia, ...

After 44 years, there’s finally a better way to find approximate solutions to the notoriously difficult traveling salesperson problem. When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his ...
