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 ...

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.

In the Dijkstra algorithm, when a shorter path to a neighbor is found, the neighbor's priority in the priority queue should be updated regardless of whether it is already present in the queue. In this ...

Abstract: This article introduces the problem of parallelization of Dijkstra's algorithm, a well known algorithm for computing single-source shortest path in a graph. Dijkstra's algorithm can be ...

According to the environment modeling approach, path planning algorithms of micro-/nanorobots are classified into searching, sampling, and dynamic aspects. The searching path planning algorithms ...
