Abstract

We consider a distributed representation scheme for trees, supporting some special relationships between nodes at small distance. For instance, we show that for a tree T and an integer k we can assign local information on nodes such that we can decide for any two nodes u and v if the distance between u and v is at most k and if so, compute it only using the local information assigned. For trees with n nodes, the local information assigned by our scheme are binary labels of log n+O(k log(k log(n/k))) bits, improving the results of Alstrup, Bille, and Rauhe (SODA '03).
