Graph algorithms constitute a fundamental area of computational research that focuses on the analysis and manipulation of graph structures, which represent systems of interconnected entities. In ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

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 ...

It hadn’t occurred to me in quite these terms before, but Google has an algorithm for its Knowledge Graph. I have been tracking the Knowledge Graph API for five years. The resultScores have always ...

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, ...
