Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy… Shortest path algorithms sit at the ...

Animal movements affect their exposure to threats and the efficacy of conservation measures, such as marine protected areas (MPAs). However, many species’ movements are difficult to reconstruct from ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. 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 ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

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.

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) nowadays have been widely used in ocean observation missions, helping researchers to monitor climate change, collect environmental data, and observe marine ecosystem ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the shortest path planning of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in complicated marine environments. A novel path planning method called “sunlight algorithm” is first ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. 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 ...

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 minimum ...

Abstract: In this article, we propose a distributed all-pairs shortest-path algorithm that finds the shortest path between every pair of nodes in an undirected graph and analyzes its robust stability ...
