Abstract

Given a graph G = (V,E) with non-negative edge lengths whose vertices are assigned a label from L = {λ1,...,λ}, we construct a compact distance oracle that answers queries of the form: "What is δ(ν,λ)?", where ν ∈ V is a vertex in the graph, λ ∈ L a vertex label, and δ(ν,λ) is the distance (length of a shortest path) between ν and the closest vertex labeled λ in G. We formalize this natural problem and provide a hierarchy of approximate distance oracles that require subquadratic space and return a distance of constant stretch. We also extend our solution to dynamic oracles that handle label changes in sublinear time.
