Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

Most computer scientists believe that there is no algorithm that can efficiently find the best solutions for all possible combinations of cities.

For decades, computer scientists working on negative-weight graphs tried to match the speed of Dijkstra’s algorithm with similar “combinatorial” algorithms. These involve discrete operations — like ...

Award-winning advance increases network performance, that could mean faster response times for drone navigation, telecoms, disaster evacuation.

The time when currently encrypted data can be decrypted using quantum technology is closer than many people think. However, ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.

Circle detection algorithms form a fundamental pillar in computer vision, enabling the identification of circular features across a wide range of applications from automated industrial inspection ...

Quantum computer succeeds where a classical algorithm fails Quantum computers coupled with traditional machine learning show clear benefits.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

The UK information commissioner is investigating claims that the use of algorithms by the Home Office to make recommendations ...
