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 ...

Network slowdowns could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a superfast new algorithm. The breakthrough offers a dramatically faster solution to a problem that has been plaguing computer scientists ...

Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum ...
