Given an undirected unweighted graph $G$ and a source set $S$ of $|S| = \sigma $ sources, we want to build a data structure which can process the following query {\sc Q}$(s,t,e):$ find the shortest distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding an edge…

The $\mathsf{HYBRID}$ model was introduced as a means for theoretical study of distributed networks that use various communication modes. Conceptually, it is a synchronous message passing model with a local communication mode, where in each…
