A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

Sometimes, wrapping your head around mathematical concepts can be tricky without a visual aid. Thankfully we have makers like ...

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 ...

I'm sitting here, and doing some homework, flow networks. And a question lead me to think, how to determine if a shortest-path is unique (I want to know is a min-cut is unique).<BR><BR>This is ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

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 ...
