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 ...

Dearborn — Robert Gardiner, an engineering manager in sales and marketing for Ford Motor Co., leaves his home in Ann Arbor to make his more than 30-minute commute to be at the automaker's Wagner Place ...

Amsterdam’s struggles with its welfare fraud algorithm show us the stakes of deploying AI in situations that directly affect human lives. What Amsterdam’s welfare fraud algorithm taught me about fair ...

The Ford-Iroquois 4-H Foundation has announced the availability of 2025 high school 4-H senior scholarships, offering up to $1,000 each, thanks to the support from their annual auction. All graduating ...

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 ...

Abstract: Many applications, from logistics to social networks, rely on quickly navigating the shortest pathways inside large-scale graphs. For shortest route finding in huge data settings, this study ...
