Danish computer scientist has developed a superb algorithm for findin
Credit: University of Copenhagen One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network--whether this be a road network or the internet. For 40 years, an algorithm has been sought to provide an optimal solution to this problem. Now, computer scientist Christian Wulff-Nilsen of the University of Copenhagen and two research colleagues have come up with a recipe. When heading somewhere new, most of us leave it to computer algorithms to help us find the best ...
