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 ...

People who played the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” were less likely to cooperate when the other player was a male human or AI, and exploited female players. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

What would you like to share? Some graph algorithms (e.g., BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, Bellman–Ford) do not have JUnit test coverage. Create test cases with small sample graphs and expected outputs.

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 ...

What would you like to Propose? I would like to propose adding Smooth Sort, an optimized variant of Heap Sort developed by Edsger Dijkstra. It adapts to partially sorted data, achieving near-linear ...

Indonesia has launched a massive new project on Java’s northern coast, framed as protection for millions of residents from worsening environmental threats. The plan has drawn sharp criticism from ...

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.
