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 ...

Landlords could no longer rely on rent-pricing software to quietly track each other's moves and push rents higher using confidential data, under a settlement between RealPage Inc. and federal ...

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 ...

Jake Peterson is Lifehacker’s Senior Technology Editor. He has a BFA in Film & TV from NYU, where he specialized in writing. Jake has been helping people with their technology professionally since ...

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 ...

The Department of Marine Technology, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China Coverage path planning (CPP) for target search by autonomous unmanned vehicle (AUV) involves two crucial aspects: (1) the ...

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 ...

SpaceX uses 3D printers and a process of relentless refinement to streamline its Raptor engines. In the Raptor 3, plumbing and wiring that had been on the outside were fused into the motor’s metal ...
