Abstract

We present an efficient cache-oblivious implementation of the shortest-path algorithm for planar graphs by Klein et al., and prove that it incurs no more than ${\mathcal O}(\frac{N}{B^{1/2 - \epsilon}} + \frac{N}{B}{\rm log}N$) block transfers on a graph with N vertices. This is the first cache-oblivious algorithm for this problem that incurs o(N) block transfers.
