I have an article in my blog: http://www.creativitymaximized.com/2015/10/shortest-path-algorithm-elaborated.html[^]

I wish to re-post it here as an article. Are pure theoretical articles that does not explain any code, but explains an algorithm accepted?

Solution 1

Yes, theoretical articles are fine, provided they meet the criteria for an article.

But...if you already have it as a blog, why not just post it as a blog feed?

Yeah, I could do that. But I write on many topics (including mathematics and physics) in my blog. So they all get updated in the RSS feed. Sometimes, I submit only codes without any text in my blog.

Solution 2

Yes, e.g. Self-organizing Map Demystified[^].
However, it will be more complete with a code implementation.

Actually, I do have a code implementation for Bellman-Ford algorithm.
