Algorithms and flowcharts are two tools a software developer uses when creating new programs. An algorithm is a step-by-step recipe for processing data; ...

Kyng's algorithm can be applied in such cases to calculate the optimal, lowest-cost traffic flow for any kind of network—be it rail, road, water or the internet.

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

The new algorithm solves these two problems in “almost linear” time, which means that the algorithm’s runtime is roughly proportional to the amount of time it takes merely to write down the details of ...

Eliminating unexplained traffic jams: New algorithm to alleviate traffic flow instabilities Date: October 28, 2013 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Our algorithm solves the uncapacitated minimum cost flow problem as a sequence of O(n log n) shortest path problems on networks with n nodes and m arcs and runs in O(n log n (m + n log n)) time. Using ...

New Algorithm from MIT, Yale, and USC Tackles Max Flow Challenge. By Dian Schaffhauser; 01/09/14; Researchers from MIT, Yale University, and the University of Southern California have developed what ...

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 ...
