We present fast algorithms for constructing probabilistic embeddings and approximate distance oracles in sparse graphs. The main ingredient is a fast algorithm for sampling the pr...
—An approximate distance query data structure is a compact representation of a graph, and can be queried to approximate shortest paths between any pair of vertices. Any such data...

Distance oracles and graph spanners are excerpts of a graph that allow to compute approximate shortest paths. Here, we consider the situation where it is possible to access the ori...
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected graph having non-negative edge weights. An estimate ˆδ(u, v) of the actual distance δ(u, v) between u, v ∈ V is said to be of stretch t...
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...
