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 ...

The minimum cost flow problem is to determine a least cost shipment of a commodity through a network G = (N, A) in order to satisfy demands at certain nodes from available supplies at other nodes. In ...

The new algorithm is “absurdly fast,” said Daniel Spielman of Yale University. “I was actually inclined to believe … algorithms this good for this problem would not exist.” Maximum flow has been ...

The objective of the classical minimum cost flow problem is to send units of a good that reside at one or more points in a network (sources or supply nodes) with arc capacities to one or more other ...

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

A new algorithm has shown in simulations that traffic jams can be considerably reduced — even if just 10 percent of cars on the road follow its guidelines.

In brief 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 ...
