The similarity of two polygonal curves can be measured using the Fr\'echet distance. We introduce the notion of a more robust Fr\'echet distance, where one is allowed to shortcut between vertices of one of the curves. This is a natural…

We study the problem of computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal curves under transformations. First, we consider translations in the Euclidean plane. Given two curves $\pi$ and $\sigma$ of total complexity $n$ and a threshold…

The discrete Fr\'echet distance is a useful similarity measure for comparing two sequences of points $P=(p_1,\ldots, p_m)$ and $Q=(q_1,\ldots,q_n)$. In many applications, the quality of the matching can be improved if we let $Q$ undergo…

The Fr\'echet distance is a popular similarity measure that is well-understood for polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$: near-quadratic time algorithms exist, and conditional lower bounds suggest that these results cannot be improved…

We show that a variant of the continuous Frechet distance between polygonal curves can be computed using essentially the same algorithm used to solve the discrete version. The new variant is not necessarily monotone, but this shortcoming…
