Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

The problem asks how much material can flow through a network from a source to a destination if the links in the network have capacity limits. The new algorithm is “absurdly fast,” said Daniel ...

This algorithm improves the best previous strongly polynomial time algorithm, due to Z. Galil and E. Tardos, by a factor of n2/m. Our algorithm for the capacitated minimum cost flow problem is even ...

Kyng's algorithm can be applied in such cases to calculate the optimal, lowest-cost traffic flow for any kind of network—be it rail, road, water or the internet.
