      1 # All pairs shortest path approximate

      5 For approximation ratio alpha<2, with directed or undirected graph, reduction from [boolean_matrix_multiplication] (exact?)
      6 
      7 for approximation (1+eps), zwick2022?: Otilde(n^omega/eps log W)
      8 - if the graph is undirected we can shave off the log W
      9 - if directed we can shave off the log W but at the expense of a worse exponent, and equivalence to "exact MinMaxProduct"?
     10 
     11 connection to approximate [distance_product] (equivalence up to log factors)
     12 
     13 for an undirected graph, for any k, we can preprocess the graph in O(m n^{1/k}) such that for each pair we obtain in constant time a 2k-1 approximation of the distance
     14 - and lower bound from [3sum]: under this preprocessing and with n^{o(1)} query time we cannot have <k approx (work involving [amir_abboud])
     15 - "hardness of approximation in P"?
