Finding the most efficient way to transport items across a network like the U.S. highway system or the Internet is a problem that has taxed mathematicians and computer scientists for decades. To ...

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 for ...

A team of researchers led by Rasmus Kinn of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has created a near-perfect algorithm to calculate the maximum transport flows at the lowest cost in any ...

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 ...

Algorithm promises to greatly streamline solutions to the 'max flow' problem. Research could boost the efficiency even of huge networks like the Internet. Finding the most efficient way to transport ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 18, No. 1 (Feb., 1993), pp. 71-97 (27 pages) This paper is concerned with the design and probabilistic analysis of algorithms for the maximum-flow problem and ...

The objective of this study is to develop a shortest augmenting path algorithm for solving the semi-assignment problem and conduct an extensive computational comparison with the best alternative ...

Researchers from MIT, Yale University, and the University of Southern California have developed what they are labeling the "fastest known algorithm" for solving the problem of "maximum flow." The max ...
