Path planning of irregular region has always been an important technique for robots in exploration missions, especially in ocean environmental observation missions. In ocean surveys 1,2, detection of ...

Fuzzy optimization for shortest path problems addresses uncertainty in network weights by representing arc costs with fuzzy numbers rather than crisp values. By extending classical algorithms—such as ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...
