Dijkstra's algorithm has long been the quickest way of finding the shortest possible paths in a network, but researchers have ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

Dynamic graph algorithms and data structures represent a vital research frontier in computer science, underpinning applications from network analysis to real-time system monitoring. These methods ...

Like the core algorithm, Google’s Knowledge Graph periodically updates. But little has been known about how, when, and what it means — until now. I believe these updates consist of three things: ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field. (January 15, 2017, update: On January 4, Babai retracted his claim that the new algorithm ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about blockchain and big data, primarily focusing on XRP. By applying a well-known graph algorithm to the XRP ledger data, ...
