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 ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Finding the most efficient way to transport items across a network like the U.S. highway system or the Internet is a problem that has taxed mathematicians and computer scientists for decades. To ...

Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum ...

Algorithm promises to greatly streamline solutions to the 'max flow' problem. Research could boost the efficiency even of huge networks like the Internet. Finding the most efficient way to transport ...

Researchers from MIT, Yale University, and the University of Southern California have developed what they are labeling the "fastest known algorithm" for solving the problem of "maximum flow." The max ...

The question of how best to transport items across a network–be that traffic over the Internet, or cars over the U.S. highway system–is one that has challenged mathematicians and computer scientists ...
