It has been shown by Alon et al. that the so-called 'all-pairs shortest-path' problem can be solved in O((MV)^2.688 * log^3(V)) for graphs with V vertices, with integer distances bounded by M. We solve the more general problem for graphs in…

Suppose we are given a pair of points $s, t$ and a set $S$ of $n$ geometric objects in the plane, called obstacles. We show that in polynomial time one can construct an auxiliary (multi-)graph $G$ with vertex set $S$ and every edge labeled…
