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…

The Fr\'{e}chet distance is a well-studied similarity measure between curves that is widely used throughout computer science. Motivated by applications where curves stem from paths and walks on an underlying graph (such as a road network),…

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…

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 Fr\'echet distance is a computational mainstay for comparing polygonal curves. The Fr\'echet distance under translation, which is a translation invariant version, considers the similarity of two curves independent of their location in…

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 commonly used distance measure for curves. Computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal curves of $n$ vertices takes roughly quadratic time, and conditional lower bounds suggest that approximating to…

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…
