Abstract: The selection of shortest path problem is one the classic problems in graph theory. In literature, many algorithms have been developed to provide a solution for shortest path problem in a ...

SYSTEMS APPROACH Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest paths in networks. Dijkstra is a legend in computer science and his algorithm, which ...

In a world dominated by algorithms, it's common to associate them with a negative bias. Mathematician Clara Grima defends their usefulness in her latest work, although she also recognizes the ...

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.

The increasing impact of urban floods, driven by global climate change and the growing frequency of extreme weather events, poses significant threats to public safety, disrupts infrastructure, and ...

Abstract: Aiming at the traffic dynamic shortest path allocation problem with triangular fuzzy numbers as attribute values, a traffic dynamic shortest path allocation model method based on triangular ...

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 slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...
