In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

For decades, engineers have utilized Petri nets to develop automated systems with specific functional requirements or ...

the shortest path in a dynamic network. For 40 years, researchers have been working to find an algorithm that can optimally solve this mathematical conundrum. Now, Christian Wulff-Nilsen of the ...

Following a similar design process, we will design efficient algorithms for a sequence of problems: shortest paths, minimal cycle ratios, maximal network flows, min-cost flows, and convex cost flows.

Also known as Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), the standard will help dramatically reduce the complexity of Ethernet ... using an enhanced shortest path algorithm. Already being deployed by users ...

For example, if recent rain has turned unsealed roads into mud, some “shortest-path” algorithms may be unreliable unless they can anticipate the likely impact of weather on travel times when ...
