With Kin's algorithm, all important network flow problems, including maximum flow and minimum cost problems, can now be treated as special cases of the minimum cost flow problem.

Network slowdowns could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a superfast new algorithm. The breakthrough offers a dramatically faster solution to a problem that has been plaguing computer scientists ...

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 ...

Rasmus Kyng has written the near-perfect algorithm. It computes the maximum transport flow at minimum cost for any kind of network – be it rail, road or electricity – at a speed that is, ...
