The Fr\'echet distance is a distance measure between trajectories in $\Bbb{R}^d$ or walks in a graph $G$. Given constant-time shortest path queries, the Discrete Fr\'echet distance $D_G(P, Q)$ between two walks $P$ and $Q$ can be computed…

Given two polygonal curves $P$ and $Q$ defined by $n$ and $m$ vertices with $m\leq n$, we show that the discrete Fr\'echet distance in 1D cannot be approximated within a factor of $2-\varepsilon$ in $\mathcal{O}((nm)^{1-\delta})$ time for…

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…

The Fr\'echet distance is a popular measure of dissimilarity for polygonal curves. It is defined as a min-max formulation that considers all direction-preserving continuous bijections of the two curves. Because of its susceptibility to…
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…

Let $m$ and $n$ be the numbers of vertices of two polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any fixed $d$ such that $m \leq n$. Since it was known in 1995 how to compute the Fr\'{e}chet distance of these two curves in $O(mn\log (mn))$ time, it…
