When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Given an unweighted graph represented using adjacency lists and a source vertex s, compute the shortest path from the source vertex to all other vertices.

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

We all lose our gadgets every once in a while. Finding them isn’t always straightforward, especially if they have been stolen or left behind in a different place. Likewise, if it’s nestled between the ...

Abstract: Graph theory is a critical field in computer science and mathematics, particularly in solving shortest path problems. In this paper, a comparative analysis of Breadth-First Search (BFS) and ...

Finding the shortest path in a network is a classical problem, and a variety of search strategies have been proposed to solve it. In this paper, we review traditional approaches for finding shortest ...
