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…

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…

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…

A $t$-spanner of a weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, is a subgraph $H$ such that $d_H(u,v)\le t\cdot d_G(u,v)$ for all $u,v\in V$. The sparseness of the spanner can be measured by its size (the number of edges) and weight (the sum of all…

We study two popular ways to sketch the shortest path distances of an input graph. The first is distance preservers, which are sparse subgraphs that agree with the distances of the original graph on a given set of demand pairs. Prior work…

We introduce a new Steiner-type problem for directed graphs named \textsc{$q$-Root Steiner Tree}. Here one is given a directed graph $G=(V,A)$ and two subsets of its vertices, $R$ of size $q$ and $T$, and the task is to find a minimum size…
