A $t$-spanner of an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a sparse subgraph $H$ of $G$ that preserves all pairwise distances between its vertices to within multiplicative factor $t$, also called the \emph{stretch}. We investigate the problem…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, we show how to compute in $O(n \log n)$ time a subgraph of their Delaunay triangulation that has maximum degree 7 and is a strong planar $t$-spanner of $P$ with $t =(1+ \sqrt{2})^2 *\delta$, where…
For any edge weight distribution, we consider the uniform spanning tree (UST) on finite graphs with i.i.d. random edge weights. We show that, for bounded degree expander graphs and finite boxes of ${\mathbb Z}^d$, the diameter of the UST is…
Given a 2-edge connected, unweighted, and undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, a $\sigma$-tree spanner is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ in which the ratio between the distance in $T$ of any pair of vertices and the…
Although many algorithms have been designed to construct Bayesian network structures using different approaches and principles, they all employ only two methods: those based on independence criteria, and those based on a scoring function…
In a seminal STOC'95 paper, titled "Euclidean spanners: short, thin and lanky", Arya et al. devised a construction of Euclidean $(1+\eps)$-spanners that achieves constant degree, diameter $O(\log n)$, and weight $O(\log^2 n) \cdot…
Solomon and Elkin constructed a shortcutting scheme for weighted trees which results in a 1-spanner for the tree metric induced by the input tree. The spanner has logarithmic lightness, logarithmic diameter, a linear number of edges and…
A spanner graph on a set of points in $R^d$ contains a shortest path between any pair of points with length at most a constant factor of their Euclidean distance. In this paper we investigate new models and aim to interpret why good…
A spanner is a sparse subgraph of a given graph $G$ which preserves distances, measured w.r.t.\ some distance metric, up to a multiplicative stretch factor. This paper addresses the problem of constructing graph spanners w.r.t.\ the group…
Graph spanners and emulators are sparse structures that approximately preserve distances of the original graph. While there has been an extensive amount of work on additive spanners, so far little attention was given to weighted graphs.…
A unit disk graph $G$ on a given set $P$ of points in the plane is a geometric graph where an edge exists between two points $p,q \in P$ if and only if $|pq| \leq 1$. A spanning subgraph $G'$ of $G$ is a $k$-hop spanner if and only if for…
Hyperspectral image analysis often requires selecting the most informative bands instead of processing the whole data without losing the key information. Existing band reduction (BR) methods have the capability to reveal the nonlinear…
A $t$-spanner of a graph is a subgraph that $t$-approximates pairwise distances. The greedy algorithm is one of the simplest and most well-studied algorithms for constructing a sparse spanner: it computes a $t$-spanner with $n^{1+O(1/t)}$…
Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a planar $n$-point set such that each point $p \in P$ has an associated radius $r_p > 0$. The transmission graph $G$ for $P$ is the directed graph with vertex set $P$ such that for any $p, q \in P$, there is…
Seminal works on light spanners over the years provide spanners with optimal lightness in various graph classes, such as in general graphs, Euclidean spanners, and minor-free graphs. Three shortcomings of previous works on light spanners…
Tree-decompositions and treewidth are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. The "spread" of a tree-decomposition is the minimum integer $s$ such that every vertex lies in at most $s$ bags. A…
A partition $\mathcal{P}$ of a weighted graph $G$ is $(\sigma,\tau,\Delta)$-sparse if every cluster has diameter at most $\Delta$, and every ball of radius $\Delta/\sigma$ intersects at most $\tau$ clusters. Similarly, $\mathcal{P}$ is…
The diameter of a graph is one if its most important parameters, being used in many real-word applications. In particular, the diameter dictates how fast information can spread throughout data and communication networks. Thus, it is a…
Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs which approximately preserve all pairwise shortest-path distances in an input graph. The notion of approximation can be additive, multiplicative, or both, and many variants of this problem have been…
