Abstract: The selection of shortest path problem is one the classic problems in graph theory. In literature, many algorithms have been developed to provide a solution for shortest path problem in a ...

SYSTEMS APPROACH Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest paths in networks. Dijkstra is a legend in computer science and his algorithm, which ...

Chinese computer scientists have solved a 40-year-old mathematics bottleneck, an advance that might help boost performance in hi-tech areas ranging from chip design and telecommunications to drone ...

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 ...

Ant behavior was the inspiration for the optimization technique. Image via Wiki Commons. Scientists often look to unexpected places to find inspiration for algorithms — and this is one of those ...
