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 ...

What Is an Algorithm? An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem or accomplishing a task. One common example of an algorithm is a recipe, which consists of specific instructions ...

YouTube is filled with treasures, but finding them can be tough. That's where the YouTube recommendation algorithm is supposed to help out, but what it serves up won't always match up with what ...

Rasmus Kyng has written the near-perfect algorithm. It computes the maximum transport flow at minimum cost for any kind of network – be it rail, road or electricity – at a speed that is, ...
