Coxeter theory investigates groups generated by reflections and the geometric structures arising from their actions, such as root systems and Dynkin diagrams. This body of work underpins vast areas of ...

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 ...

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 ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

Victor Lee is director of product management at TigerGraph. Graph databases excel at answering complex questions about relationships in large data sets. But they hit a wall—in terms of both ...
