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 ...

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.

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

In recent years, the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model has gained significant attention. However, most of distributed and parallel graph algorithms in the MPC model are designed for static ...

The computation of point-to-point shortest paths on time-dependent transportation networks has many practical applications. Finding the shortest path on transportation networks, taking into account ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...
