Abstract

We show how to compute in O(n 4/3log 1/3 n+n 2/3 k 2/3log n) time the distance between k given pairs of vertices of a planar graph G with n vertices. This improves previous results whenever (n/log n)5/6≤k≤n 2/log 6 n. As an application, we speed up previous algorithms for computing the dilation of geometric planar graphs.
