Graph-theoretic problems of identifying maximum cliques and maximum independent sets occupy a central place in combinatorial optimisation and theoretical computer science. A clique is a set of ...

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 for ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
