This module introduces the basics of linear programs and shows how some algorithm problems (such as the network flow problem) can be posed as a linear program. We will provide ... vertex cover problem ...

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 ... solves these two problems in ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow ... linear-time algorithm at the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) in Vancouver. This algorithm solves the minimum-cost maximum ...

To tackle the problem, researchers have traditionally used a maximum-flow algorithm ... The result is an almost linear algorithm, Kelner says, meaning the amount of time it takes to solve a ...
