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 ...

Popular food delivery service Instacart has been using a shady algorithm that charges different prices to different customers on the same grocery items in the same supermarkets without telling them, ...

The South Florida Water Management District's Python Elimination Program awards cash prizes to python removal agents. Kevin Pavlidis was the top winner for November, earning $2,500 for removing the ...

Lately, more and more companies have been turning their sights to agentic AI, eager to capitalize on the early excitement and technological promise. Agentic AI is designed to act autonomously—not ...

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 ...

Description: The graph visualizer currently supports traversals. A great addition would be to implement a shortest path algorithm. This would involve allowing users to add weights to edges, select a ...

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 ...

One of the easiest, most straightforward ways to stay informed with my kids’ schools is social media, and many of my friends and relatives are teachers for a bunch different concentrations and grade ...

The Texas Department of Transportation said it's looking at how people apply for its ferry medical passes. It's a program that allows users to skip wait times that can sometimes be three hours long.

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.
