Subquadratic algorithms for the diameter and the sum of pairwise distances in planar graphs

S Cabello - ACM Transactions on Algorithms (TALG), 2018 - dl.acm.org
In this article, we show how to compute for n-vertex planar graphs in O (n 11/6 polylog (n))
expected time the diameter and the sum of the pairwise distances. The algorithms work for …

All politics is local: Redistricting via local fairness

SH Ko, E Taylor, P Agarwal… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In this paper, we propose to use the concept of local fairness for auditing and ranking
redistricting plans. Given a redistricting plan, a deviating group is a population-balanced …

Better tradeoffs for exact distance oracles in planar graphs

P Gawrychowski, S Mozes, O Weimann… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - SIAM
We present an O (n 1.5)-space distance oracle for directed planar graphs that answers
distance queries in O (log n) time. Our oracle both significantly simplifies and significantly …

Complexity framework for forbidden subgraphs I: The framework

M Johnson, B Martin, JJ Oostveen, S Pandey… - Algorithmica, 2025 - Springer
For a set of graphs\({\mathcal {H}}\), a graph G is\({\mathcal {H}}\)-subgraph-free if G does
not contain any graph from\({{{\mathcal {H}}}}\) as a subgraph. We propose general and easy …

A story of diameter, radius, and (almost) Helly property

G Ducoffe, FF Dragan - Networks, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We present new algorithmic results for the class of Helly graphs, that is, for the discrete
analogues of hyperconvex metric spaces. Specifically, an undirected unweighted graph is …

Planar diameter via metric compression

J Li, M Parter - Proceedings of the 51st Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We develop a new approach for distributed distance computation in planar graphs that is
based on a variant of the metric compression problem recently introduced by Abboud et …

Diameter computation on H-minor free graphs and graphs of bounded (distance) VC-dimension

G Ducoffe, M Habib, L Viennot - Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual ACM …, 2020 - SIAM
Under the Strong Exponential-Time Hypothesis, the diameter of general unweighted graphs
cannot be computed in truly subquadratic time. Nevertheless there are several graph …

Approximate shortest paths and distance oracles in weighted unit-disk graphs

TM Chan, D Skrepetos - Journal of Computational Geometry, 2019 - jocg.org
Abstract $\newcommand {\OO}[1]{O\left (# 1\right)}\newcommand {\eps}{\varepsilon} $ We
present the first near-linear-time algorithm that computes a $(1+\eps) $-approximation of the …

Diameter, Eccentricities and Distance Oracle Computations on H-Minor Free Graphs and Graphs of Bounded (Distance) Vapnik–Chervonenkis Dimension

G Ducoffe, M Habib, L Viennot - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2022 - SIAM
Under the strong exponential-time hypothesis, the diameter of general unweighted graphs
cannot be computed in truly subquadratic time (in the size of the input), as shown by Roditty …

Almost optimal exact distance oracles for planar graphs

P Charalampopoulos, P Gawrychowski, Y Long… - Journal of the …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of preprocessing a weighted directed planar graph in order to
quickly answer exact distance queries. The main tension in this problem is between space S …
