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 ...

In the Dijkstra algorithm, when a shorter path to a neighbor is found, the neighbor's priority in the priority queue should be updated regardless of whether it is already present in the queue. In this ...

The looming challenges of quantum computing have prompted the Java Platform to implement two advanced cryptographic solutions in its upcoming release, Java 24, slated for March 2025. Quantum computers ...

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 ...
