Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery. University of ...

This note contains an O(n log n) time-bounded implementation and extentions for a procedure developed by Sidney for the two-machine maximum flow time problem with series-parallel precedence ...

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 ...
