Labeling schemes seek to assign a short label to each node in a network, so that a function on two nodes can be computed by examining their labels alone. For the particular case of trees, optimal bounds (up to low order terms) were recently…

Given an undirected graph $G$ with $m$ edges, $n$ vertices, and non-negative edge weights, and given an integer $k\geq 1$, we show that for some universal constant $c$, a $(2k-1)$-approximate distance oracle for $G$ of size $O(kn^{1 +…

We present a labeling scheme that assigns labels of size $\tilde O(1)$ to the vertices of a directed weighted planar graph $G$, such that for any fixed $\varepsilon>0$ from the labels of any three vertices $s$, $t$ and $f$ one can determine…

It is unlikely that the discrete Fr\'echet distance between two curves of length $n$ can be computed in strictly subquadratic time. We thus consider the setting where one of the curves, $P$, is known in advance. In particular, we wish to…

In a recent breakthrough, Charalampopoulos, Gawrychowski, Mozes, and Weimann (STOC 2019) showed that exact distance queries on planar graphs could be answered in $n^{o(1)}$ time by a data structure occupying $n^{1+o(1)}$ space, i.e., up to…

We present an $f$-fault tolerant distance oracle for an undirected weighted graph where each edge has an integral weight from $[1 \dots W]$. Given a set $F$ of $f$ edges, as well as a source node $s$ and a destination node $t$, our oracle…

We prove that, up to subpolynomial or polylogarithmic factors, there is no tradeoff between preprocessing time, query time, and size of exact distance oracles for planar graphs. Namely, we show how given an $n$-vertex weighted directed…

The classical algorithms for online learning and decision-making have the benefit of achieving the optimal performance guarantees, but suffer from computational complexity limitations when implemented at scale. More recent sophisticated…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be an undirected $n$-vertices $m$-edges graph with non-negative edge weights. In this paper, we present three new algorithms for constructing a $(2k-1)$-stretch distance oracle with $O(n^{1+\frac{1}{k}})$ space. The first…

Distance labeling schemes are schemes that label the vertices of a graph with short labels in such a way that the distance between any two vertices $u$ and $v$ can be determined efficiently by merely inspecting the labels of $u$ and $v$,…

We give a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate distance oracle with $O(1)$ query time for an undirected planar graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and non-negative edge lengths. For $\epsilon>0$ and any two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$, our oracle gives a…

A distance labeling scheme is an assignments of labels, that is binary strings, to all nodes of a graph, so that the distance between any two nodes can be computed from their labels and the labels are as short as possible. A major open…

In the context of distance oracles, a labeling algorithm computes vertex labels during preprocessing. An $s,t$ query computes the corresponding distance from the labels of $s$ and $t$ only, without looking at the input graph. Hub labels is…
