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 ...

Traditional path planning algorithms often face problems such as local optimum traps and low monitoring efficiency in agricultural UAV operations, making it difficult to meet the operational ...

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 ...

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.

ABSTRACT: In any military operation, reliable logistics is essential to maintaining a combat-effective force. Without the continual resupply of ammunition, food, and other materiel, forces cannot ...

Finding the shortest path in a network is a classical problem, and a variety of search strategies have been proposed to solve it. In this paper, we review traditional approaches for finding shortest ...

Graph theory is an integral component of algorithm design that underlies sparse matrices, relational databases, and networks. Improving the performance of graph algorithms has direct implications to ...
