Graph matching and edit distance algorithms form a cornerstone of modern computational techniques used to quantify the similarity between structured data. These methods underpin a wide array of ...

Planar graph algorithms constitute a pivotal area in theoretical computer science, addressing problems where graphs can be drawn on a plane without edge crossings. Among the myriad challenges in this ...

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 ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field. (January 15, 2017, update: On January 4, Babai retracted his claim that the new algorithm ...
