Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

The Fast Fourier Transform is used everywhere but it has a fascinating origin story that could have ended the nuclear arms race. White House responds to Epstein emails invoking Trump Brian Daboll ...

We often think about the impact AI is making on profitable businesses and even governmental organizations, but AI is also making significant contributions to the operations and success of non-profit ...

The story originates a few years after the graduate of Westport’s Staples High School left Syracuse University, not knowing what he wanted to do with his life, except that he was certainly not going ...

Real-world statistical systems are often complex, and efficiently detecting minor anomalies can be the key to avoiding catastrophe. For example, small timescale changes in the current and voltage ...

Abstract: The research primarily examines the significance of pivot selection of the widely used QuickSort algorithm in order to increase the overall performance and ...

Abstract: This paper compares the time complexity of various sorting algorithms for the logic, code and time complexity of each algorithm. The sorting algorithms that this paper discusses are ...
