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 ...

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.

The modern internet is ruled by algorithms. When you boot up Instagram, for example, what you see in your feed is strategically sorted by the app's AI based on your past activity to keep you engaged ...

When it comes to tipping points, one of the greatest worries is the status of what is known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC—a key player in making the northern part of ...

Chess, a zero-sum game, here seen played at a strategy session at Camp David in 1978 between the Israeli prime minister and the US National Security Advisor. The concept of zero-sum thinking ...

Dijkstra’s algorithm is great as long as we have no negative weight edges in our graph. But there are many problems for which it is natural to represent weights with positive and negative values—gains ...
