Better distance labeling for unweighted planar graphs

P Gawrychowski, P Uznański - Algorithmica, 2023 - Springer
A distance labeling scheme is an assignment of labels, that is, binary strings, to all nodes of
a graph, so that the distance between any two nodes can be computed from their labels …

Approximate distance oracles for planar graphs with subpolynomial error dependency

H Le - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
Thorup [FOCS'01, JACM'04] and Klein [SODA'01] independently showed that there exists a
(1+ ε)-approximate distance oracle for planar graphs with O (n (log n) ε-1) space and O (ε-1) …
