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 ...

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 ...

Like a Porsche racing a horse-drawn carriage The ETH Zurich researchers have thus developed what is, in theory, the fastest possible network flow algorithm.

Researchers have devised an "absurdly fast" algorithm to solve the problem of finding the fastest flow through a network.
