Let S be a set of n points and let w be a function that assigns non-negative weights to points in S. The additive weighted distance d_w(p, q) between two points p,q belonging to S is defined as w(p) + d(p, q) + w(q) if p \ne q and it is…

We describe an algorithm that takes as input n points in the plane and a parameter {\epsilon}, and produces as output an embedded planar graph having the given points as a subset of its vertices in which the graph distances are a (1 +…

Given a set S of n points, a weight function w to associate a non-negative weight to each point in S, a positive integer k \ge 1, and a real number \epsilon > 0, we present algorithms for computing a spanner network G(S, E) for the metric…

A \emph{spanner} of a graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ that approximately preserves shortest path distances in $G$. Spanners are commonly applied to compress computation on metric spaces corresponding to weighted input graphs. Classic spanner…

We look at generalized Delaunay graphs in the constrained setting by introducing line segments which the edges of the graph are not allowed to cross. Given an arbitrary convex shape $C$, a constrained Delaunay graph is constructed by adding…

Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a length function $\ell:E\to {\mathbb R}$ we let $d_{v,w}$ denote the shortest distance between vertex $v$ and vertex $w$. A $t$-spanner is a subset $E'\subseteq E$ such that if $d'_{v,w}$ denotes…

Given a metric space $\mathcal{M}=(X,\delta)$, a weighted graph $G$ over $X$ is a metric $t$-spanner of $\mathcal{M}$ if for every $u,v \in X$, $\delta(u,v)\le d_G(u,v)\le t\cdot \delta(u,v)$, where $d_G$ is the shortest path metric in $G$.…

A $t$-spanner of a point set $X$ in a metric space $(\mathcal{X}, \delta)$ is a graph $G$ with vertex set $P$ such that, for any pair of points $u,v \in X$, the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is at most $t$ times $\delta(u,v)$. We…

A geometric $t$-spanner for a set $S$ of $n$ point sites is an edge-weighted graph for which the (weighted) distance between any two sites $p,q \in S$ is at most $t$ times the original distance between $p$ and~$q$. We study geometric…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a subgraph $H$ is an \emph{additive $+\beta$ spanner} if $\dist_H(u,v) \le \dist_G(u,v) + \beta$ for all $u, v \in V$. A \emph{pairwise spanner} is a spanner for which the above inequality only must hold for…

We study the problem of embedding graphs in the plane as good geometric spanners. That is, for a graph $G$, the goal is to construct a straight-line drawing $\Gamma$ of $G$ in the plane such that, for any two vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$,…

$t$-spanners are used to approximate the pairwise distances between a set of points in a metric space. They have only a few edges compared to the total number of pairs and they provide a $t$-approximation on the distance of any two…

An \emph{additive +$\beta W$ spanner} of an edge weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that for every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$, $d_{H}(u,v) \le d_G(u,v) + \beta W$, where $d_G(u,v)$ is the shortest path length from $u$…

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.…

An \emph{additive $+\beta$ spanner} of a graph $G$ is a subgraph which preserves distances up to an additive $+\beta$ error. Additive spanners are well-studied in unweighted graphs but have only recently received attention in weighted…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner of a weighted graph $G=(V,E)$, is a subgraph $H$ such that for every $u,v\in V$, $d_G(u,v) \le d_H(u,v)\le\alpha\cdot d_G(u,v)+\beta$. The main parameters of interest for spanners are their size (number of edges)…

Given a set P of points in the plane, an Euclidean t-spanner for P is a geometric graph that preserves the Euclidean distances between every pair of points in P up to a constant factor t. The weight of a geometric graph refers to the total…

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…

It is a standing open question to decide whether the Yao-Yao structure for unit disk graphs (UDGs) is a length spanner of not. This question is highly relevant to the topology control problem for wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper we…

Let $(V,\delta)$ be a finite metric space, where $V$ is a set of $n$ points and $\delta$ is a distance function defined for these points. Assume that $(V,\delta)$ has a constant doubling dimension $d$ and assume that each point $p\in V$ has…
