A clear science explanation breaks down how lightning forms and why it branches through the air instead of traveling in a straight line to the ground. Archival addresses Monterrazas issue Mamdani, ...

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 ...

Can you chip in? As an independent nonprofit, the Internet Archive is fighting for universal access to quality information. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, ...

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 new quantum computing algorithm, called "Quantum Echoes," is the first that can be independently verified by running it on another quantum computer. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Path finding is a technique that is employed extensively for determination of Shortest Path (SP) between source node and destination node. There are various path-finding algorithms like ...

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes an efficient strategy for resource utilization in Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) to minimize spectrum fragmentation and reduce connection blocking probability during ...

In dense anchorage areas, the challenge of navigation for Unmanned Surface Vehicles is particularly pronounced, especially regarding path safety and economy. A Risk-Aware Path Optimization Algorithm ...
