A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

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 ...

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 ...

Graph algorithms constitute a pivotal component of modern computational science, underpinning diverse applications ranging from transportation optimisation and telecommunications to social network ...

In recent years, the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model has gained significant attention. However, most of distributed and parallel graph algorithms in the MPC model are designed for static ...

If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...
