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…

In 2001 Thorup and Zwick devised a distance oracle, which given an $n$-vertex undirected graph and a parameter $k$, has size $O(k n^{1+1/k})$. Upon a query $(u,v)$ their oracle constructs a $(2k-1)$-approximate path $\Pi$ between $u$ and…
