متن کاملOn Approximate Distance Labels and Routing Schemes with Affine Stretch
For every integral parameter k > 1, given an unweighted graph G, we construct in polynomial time, for each vertex u, a distance label L(u) of size Õ(n2/(2k−1)). For any u, v ∈ G, given L(u), L(v) we can return in time O(k) an affine approximation d̂(u, v) on the distance d(u, v) between u and v in G such that d(u, v) d̂(u, v) (2k − 2)d(u, v) + 1. Hence we say that our distance label scheme has af...

The study of societal reactions challenges medical concepts of mental illness and seems to ...
