In 1984, two computer scientists developed a clever heap design that enabled Dijkstra’s algorithm to reach a theoretical limit, or “lower bound,” on the time required to solve the single ...

The algorithm works in an abstracted road map called a graph: a network ... two computer scientists developed a clever heap design that enabled Dijkstra’s algorithm to reach a theoretical limit, or ...
