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 years of relying on the same classic ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

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 ...

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.

The authors work at the Policing Project at the N.Y.U. School of Law. The project works with communities and the police to promote public safety. Something important has been happening in American ...

Evolution has led to natural algorithms that regulate collective behavior in many biological systems. Here, we investigate natural algorithms that solve the shortest path problem, a basic optimization ...

Abstract: There are several algorithms which calculates shortest path, but most of them are not enough fast, effective and they provide only one solution. Therefore our investigation tries to find one ...
