We present a simple and general algorithm for the all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) problem in unweighted geometric intersection graphs. Specically we reduce the problem to the design of static data structures for oine intersection detection. Consequently we can solve APSP in unweighted intersection graphs of n arbitrary disks in O n 2 log n time, axis-aligned line segments in O n 2 log log n time, arbitrary line segmentsWe also reduce the single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem in unweighted geometric intersection graphs to decremental intersection detection. Thus, we obtain an O (n log n)-time SSSP algorithm in unweighted intersection graphs of n axis-aligned line segments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
