Graph algorithms and sparsification techniques have emerged as pivotal tools in the analysis and optimisation of complex networked systems. These approaches focus on reducing the number of edges in a ...

A couple of weeks ago, I attended and spoke at the first stop in the Neo4j GraphTour in Washington D.C. and I was able to get the best answer yet to a question that I’d been pondering: what’s the ...

Dynamic graph algorithms and data structures represent a vital research frontier in computer science, underpinning applications from network analysis to real-time system monitoring. These methods ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery. University of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about blockchain and big data, primarily focusing on XRP. By applying a well-known graph algorithm to the XRP ledger data, ...
