The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a metaheuristic nature-inspired technique for solving various combinatorial optimization problems. The shortest-path problem is an important ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network ...

A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Unfortunately, prior research does not provide a clear direction for choosing an algorithm when one faces the problem of computing shortest paths on real road networks. Most of the computational ...

Forget the Shortest Route Across a City; New Algorithm Finds the Most Beautiful If you prefer beautiful routes over short ones, GPS mapping algorithms are of little use.

Russell Eveleigh is using a Raspberry Pi Pico to demonstrate Dijkstra's algorithm visually with LEDs arranged as a map of the Cotswolds in England.
