We study Voronoi diagrams for distance functions that add together two convex functions, each taking as its argument the difference between Cartesian coordinates of two planar points. When the functions do not grow too quickly, then the…

We present an $O(n^{1.5})$-space distance oracle for directed planar graphs that answers distance queries in $O(\log n)$ time. Our oracle both significantly simplifies and significantly improves the recent oracle of Cohen-Addad, Dahlgaard…
