Given a curve $P$ with points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a streaming fashion, and parameters $\varepsilon>0$ and $k$, we construct a distance oracle that uses $O(\frac{1}{\varepsilon})^{kd}\log\varepsilon^{-1}$ space, and given a query curve $Q$…
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 the Distance Oracle problem, the goal is to preprocess $n$ vectors $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n$ in a $d$-dimensional metric space $(\mathbb{X}^d, \| \cdot \|_l)$ into a cheap data structure, so that given a query vector $q \in \mathbb{X}^d$…
