On k-Path Covers and their Applications
Summary: Introduces k-path covers—vertex sets hitting every k-node directed path—and studies compact construction for massive road networks. Efficient algorithms yield tiny overlays powering personalized shortest paths and spatial-data queries, with instance-based lower bounds. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
