In a breakthrough that brings to mind Lucky Luke – the man who shoots faster than his shadow – Rasmus Kyng and his team have developed a superfast algorithm that looks set to transform an entire field ...

We present a new optimization-based method for aggregating preferences in settings in which each voter expresses preferences over pairs of alternatives. Our approach to identifying a consensus partial ...

Hospitals are complex systems, and the flow of patients is dynamic and nonlinear in such systems. Network representation allows flow algorithms to observe bottlenecks as candidates for optimisation.

Previous maximum flow algorithms made steady and incremental advances, but they still took longer to find the optimal flow than to process the network data. But the new research, presented on June 11 ...
