Like a Porsche racing a horse-drawn carriage The ETH Zurich researchers have thus developed what is, in theory, the fastest possible network flow algorithm. Two years ago, Kyng and his team ...

"New algorithm can dramatically streamline solutions to the 'max flow' problem." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 7 January 2014. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2014 / 01 / 140107112620.htm>.

Fulkerson and Ford's algorithm proved effective enough, but it often didn't produce the best possible flow: If other routes were cut off and suboptimal jams emerged, so be it. The subsequent 70 ...

The new algorithm is “absurdly fast,” said Daniel Spielman of Yale University. “I was actually inclined to believe … algorithms this good for this problem would not exist.” Maximum flow has been ...

We introduce the pseudoflow algorithm for the maximum-flow problem that employs only pseudoflows and does not generate flows explicitly. The algorithm solves directly a problem equivalent to the ...

A team of researchers led by Rasmus Kinn of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has created a near-perfect algorithm to calculate the maximum transport flows at the lowest cost in ...

Almost-Linear Time Algorithms for Incremental Graphs: Cycle Detection, SCCs, s-t Shortest Path, and Minimum-Cost Flow. Proceedings of the 56th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, 2024 DOI ...

In brief Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with ...
