Most of you have used a navigation app like Google Maps for your travels at some point. These apps rely on algorithms that compute shortest paths through vast networks. Now imagine scaling that task ...

A header-only C++ implementation of the single-source shortest path (SSSP) algorithm for sparse directed graphs with non-negative weights, based on the 2025 paper by Duan et al. This algorithm is ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the shortest path planning of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in complicated marine environments. A novel path planning method called “sunlight algorithm” is first ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

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 ...

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) nowadays have been widely used in ocean observation missions, helping researchers to monitor climate change, collect environmental data, and observe marine ecosystem ...
