We consider approximate {\em path-reporting} distance oracles, distance labeling and labeled routing with extremely low space requirement, for general undirected graphs. For distance oracles, we show how to break the n\log n space bound of…

Given a finite metric space $(V,d)$, an approximate distance oracle is a data structure which, when queried on two points $u,v \in V$, returns an approximation to the the actual distance between $u$ and $v$ which is within some bounded…

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…

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…

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…

We show how to assign labels of size $\tilde O(1)$ to the vertices of a directed planar graph $G$, such that from the labels of any three vertices $s,t,f$ we can deduce in $\tilde O(1)$ time whether $t$ is reachable from $s$ in the graph…
