Researchers have found a new approach to finding shortest paths, but it's complex Systems Approach Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field. (January 15, 2017, update: On January 4, Babai retracted his claim that the new algorithm ...
