[+] Multiple Source Shortest Paths

We develop an O(n log n)-time algorithm that, given a shortest path tree rooted at some vertex r of a face f in a directed planar graph, computes a representation of all shortest path trees rooted at all vertices of f. This representation can be used to report distances between any vertex of f and any other vertex in the graph in O(log n) time. The algorithm is based on interdigitating trees and uses dynamic trees to represent the trees efficiently.
