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 ...

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 ...

The maximum-flow problem, or max flow, is one of the most basic problems in computer science. MIT researchers, together with colleagues at Yale and the University of Southern California, have ...

Networks are systems comprised of two or more connected devices, biological organisms or other components, which typically ...

The European PRACE organization has published a series of excellent whitepapers on scalable algorithms. Produced as part of the Work Package 8 of the PRACE 1IP Project, the most recent paper is ...

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 ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 18, No. 1 (Feb., 1993), pp. 71-97 (27 pages) This paper is concerned with the design and probabilistic analysis of algorithms for the maximum-flow problem and ...

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 ...

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 ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

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 ...
