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 ...

Given an unweighted graph represented using adjacency lists and a source vertex s, compute the shortest path from the source vertex to all other vertices.

Description: The graph visualizer currently supports traversals. A great addition would be to implement a shortest path algorithm. This would involve allowing users to add weights to edges, select a ...

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.

The introduction of the clear-path foul rule changed how the NBA handles fast-break situations. The rule was created after multiple high-profile incidents in which defenders committed intentional, ...
