Path of least resistance

The path of least resistance is the physical or metaphorical pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a given object or entity, among a set of alternative paths. The concept is often used to describe why an object or entity takes a given path. The way in which water flows is often given as an example for the idea. (Wikipedia).

Kirchhoff's Current Law Explained

Electric current has to obey certain rules, like taking the path of least resistance. But when rules are that simple, they tend to be a little wrong. Let's see if we can write a better one. Nick Lucid - Host/Writer/Editor/Animator Vanessa R Bradley - Thumbnail ____________________________

We give an algorithm for computing exact maximum flows on graphs with m edges and integer capacities in the range [1,U] in ̃O(m^((3/2) −(1/328)) log U) time. For sparse graphs with polynomially bounded integer capacities, this is the first improvement over the ̃O(m^(1.5) log U) time bou
