This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for any type of network. It thus solves a key question in theoretical computer science.

An algorithm is a set of instructions to solve a problem or complete a task. Algorithms are vital for programming, as they provide a computer with the instructions to perform a specific task.

Algorithmia, an online marketplace that connects computer science researchers’ algorithms with developers who may have uses for them, has exited its private beta. Algorithms are essential to our ...

As computer science evolved into a prestigious field focused on algorithms and theory, women became – and remained – underrepresented.

Finnish researchers are focusing on a small set of quantum algorithms they think will have a global impact.
