The maximum-flow problem, or max flow, is one of the most basic problems in computer science. MIT researchers, together with colleagues at Yale and the University of Southern California, have ...

Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum ...

Any time you hang a fresh set of pipes beneath your floorboards, it's a very good day. Foreshadowing the burbly flow of cackling hydrocarbons that's about to ensue, it's a welcome sign that your ...
