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

What is a Breadth-first search? If you have a tree structure as below and visit the root node, and then all of its children, and all of its children’s children, and so on, that’s a so-called ...

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 - ...

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 ...

The algorithm lets robots find the shortest route in unfamiliar environments, opening the door to robots that can work inside homes and offices. The news: A team at Facebook AI has created a ...
