Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

Dijkstra’s algorithm was long thought to be the most efficient way to find a graph’s best routes. Researchers have now proved that it’s “universally optimal.” ...

For decades, computer scientists working on negative-weight graphs tried to match the speed of Dijkstra’s algorithm with similar “combinatorial” algorithms. These involve discrete operations — like ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.

Within a decade, quantum computers will be able to break virtually any encryption algorithm in use today. What used to be ...

The findings, published in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, present a way to protect sensitive videos from rare but extremely powerful computers.

A novel computer-based algorithm can track the progress of hair loss in patients with various types of alopecia, according to a study.“Hair loss impacts so many people,” Elena Bernardis, PhD ...
