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 ...

What changes when algorithms interact with algorithms, and what to do about it. A new business infrastructure is emerging with enormous potential impact but almost no conscious design. In this new ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research shows that people recognize more of their biases in algorithms' decisions than they do in their own -- even when those decisions are the same. Algorithms were supposed to make our lives ...

Adaptive algorithms have immensely advanced, becoming integral for innovation across multiple industries. These intelligent systems adjust content and strategies to improve the experiences of users by ...

We derive several algorithms for the busy period distribution of the canonical Markovian fluid flow model. One of them is similar to the Latouche-Ramaswami algorithm for quasi-birth-death models and ...
