Efficient Resistance Distance Computation: the Power of Landmark-based Approaches
Summary: Landmark-based resistance queries (single-pair and single-source) via v-absorbed random walks, forests, and a v-absorbed push. Three sampling-based plus one deterministic single-pair algorithm; online and two index-based single-source approximations exist. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
