So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

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 ...

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 ...

Award-winning advance increases network performance, that could mean faster response times for drone navigation, telecoms, disaster evacuation.

Computer scientists have long suspected that there should be an approximation algorithm that outperforms Christofides’ algorithm. After all, his simple and intuitive algorithm isn’t always such an ...

The trained algorithm could distinguish cases where transformations were time-reversal symmetric, something that appears to be very difficult or impossible with the classical system.

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 ...

Most computer scientists believe that there is no algorithm that can efficiently find the best solutions for all possible combinations of cities. But in 1976, Nicos Christofides came up with an ...
