Researchers have devised an "absurdly fast" algorithm to solve the problem of finding the fastest flow through a network.

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 ...

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

Now a trio of computer scientists has solved this long-standing problem. Their new algorithm, which finds the shortest paths through a graph from a given “source” node to every other node, nearly ...

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.
