Depending on the underlying graph, you also need to handle cycles intelligently. In social networks, mutual relationships are ...

Distributed algorithms for graph problems represent a vibrant area of study that addresses the challenges of decentralised computation across interconnected networks. By partitioning complex graph ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...
