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 ...

—you’re not alone. This issue occurs when Windows can’t locate Python’s executable in your system’s PATH. Luckily, there are several simple ways to fix it, so you can run Python and pip from any ...

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: This paper investigates the shortest path planning of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in complicated marine environments. A novel path planning method called “sunlight algorithm” is first ...

OSPF Basics are crucial for anyone stepping into the world of networking. As one of the most widely used interior routing protocols, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) offers high scalability, ...

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 ...
