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 ...

June 28, 2024 — 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 ...

Dijkstra’s algorithm was long thought to be the most efficient way to find a graph’s best routes. ... Many different algorithms can solve any given problem, ... the 26-year-old Dutch computer ...

Now a trio of computer scientists has solved this long-standing problem. Their new algorithm, which finds the shortest paths through a graph from a given “source” node to every other node, nearly ...
