Brief announcement: a simple stretch 2 distance oracle

Published:22 July 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present a distance oracle that, for weighted graphs with n vertices and m edges, is of size 8n4/3m1/3log2/3n and returns stretch-2 distances in constant time. Our oracle achieves bounds identical to the constant-time stretch-2 oracle of Pǎtraşcu and Roditty, but admits significantly simpler construction and proofs.
