Everyone knows that the path of least resistance is the path that will always be taken, be it by water, electricity or the feet of humans. This is where the PCB presented by [ElectrArc240] on YouTube ...

This year, Human Resources is redefining the way it supports employees at Purdue. Wherever they are in their career and life, regardless of where they call home — West Lafayette and Indianapolis, ...

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 ...

Back in 2021, hardware store giant Home Depot launched its Path to Pro program as a new way to make jobs in construction, plumbing, and other crucial trades more accessible. As the program's name ...

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 ...

Abstract: The problem of cooperative behavior of a set of agents in an environment given by a directed state graph is considered. The task is to achieve the required balance between the length of the ...

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.
