The graph colouring problem, a classic NP-hard challenge, is central to many practical applications such as scheduling, resource allocation and network management. Recent advances have seen the ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

It might not be as bright and shiny as some of the other topics that we've seen here, but there's no denying that the work of Julian Shun and his team is going to be applicable to a lot of the ...

Algorithm promises to greatly streamline solutions to the 'max flow' problem. Research could boost the efficiency even of huge networks like the Internet. Finding the most efficient way to transport ...

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

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

The travelling salesman problem was mathematically formulated in 1800s by Mathematicians W.R. Hamilton and Thomas Kirkman. Considered as a classic algorithmic problem in the field of operations ...
