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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I'm tasked to write a layout panel and library to display a directional left-right graph with a single source and sink node. Most of the documents I'm finding online are heavily detailed on the theory ...

I have a 2D graph that I'm trying to lay out cleanly. Does anyone know of an algorithm that, given the x, y position of every node and the graph's edges will tell me how many edges cross. Right now I ...
