A distance oracle is a compact representation of the shortest distance matrix of a graph. It can be queried to approximate shortest paths between any pair of vertices. Any distance oracle that returns paths of worst-case stretch (2k-1) must…

Given an undirected weighted graph, an (approximate) distance oracle is a data structure that can (approximately) answer distance queries. A {\em Path-Reporting Distance Oracle}, or {\em PRDO}, is a distance oracle that must also return a…

There are several known data structures that answer distance queries between two arbitrary vertices in a planar graph. The tradeoff is among preprocessing time, storage space and query time. In this paper we present three data structures…
