Given a directed graph G = (V,E) and an integer k>=1, a k-transitive-closure-spanner (k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (V, E_H) that has (1) the same transitive-closure as G and (2) diameter at most k. These spanners were…

We study polynomial-time approximation algorithms for two closely-related problems, namely computing shortcuts and transitive-closure spanners (TC spanners). For a directed unweighted graph $G=(V, E)$ and an integer $d$, a set of edges…

A geometric $t$-spanner $\mathcal{G}$ on a set $S$ of $n$ point sites in a metric space $P$ is a subgraph of the complete graph on $S$ such that for every pair of sites $p,q$ the distance in $\mathcal{G}$ is a most $t$ times the distance…

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…

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…

Given a point set $P$ in the Euclidean space, a geometric $t$-spanner $G$ is a graph on $P$ such that for every pair of points, the shortest path in $G$ between those points is at most a factor $t$ longer than the Euclidean distance between…

Let $G$ be a graph. The Steiner distance of $W\subseteq V(G)$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of $G$ containing $W$. Such a subgraph is necessarily a tree called a Steiner $W$-tree. The set $A\subseteq V(G)$ is a $k$-Steiner…

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…

A $k$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a sparse subgraph $H$ whose shortest path distances match those of $G$ up to a multiplicative error $k$. In this paper we study spanners that are resistant to faults. A subgraph $H \subseteq G$ is an $f$…

For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ and $S\subseteq V(G)$, the \emph{Steiner distance} $d_G(S)$ among the vertices of $S$ is the minimum size among all connected subgraphs whose vertex sets contain $S$. In this paper, we…

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…

Given a point set $P$ in the Euclidean plane and a parameter $t$, we define an \emph{oriented $t$-spanner} $G$ as an oriented subgraph of the complete bi-directed graph such that for every pair of points, the shortest closed walk in $G$…

For $\alpha \ge 1$, $\beta \ge 0$, and a graph $G$, a spanning subgraph $H$ of $G$ is said to be an $(\alpha, \beta)$-spanner if $\dist(u, v, H) \le \alpha \cdot \dist(u, v, G) + \beta$ holds for any pair of vertices $u$ and $v$. These type…

Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a vertex set $S\subset V$, the {\em Steiner distance} $d(S)$ of $S$ is the size of a minimum spanning tree of $S$ in $G$. For a connected graph $G$ of order $n$ and an integer $k$ with $2\leq k \leq n$,…

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…

In this article we consider the Directed Steiner Path Cover problem on directed co-graphs. Given a directed graph G=(V,E) and a subset T of V of so-called terminal vertices, the problem is to find a minimum number of vertex-disjoint simple…

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…

For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ and $S\subseteq V(G)$, the \emph{Steiner distance} $d_G(S)$ among the vertices of $S$ is the minimum size among all connected subgraphs whose vertex sets contain $S$. Let $n$ and $k$ be two…

Let $G$ be a simple, undirected, finite graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A $k$-dimensional box is a Cartesian product of closed intervals $[a_1,b_1]\times [a_2,b_2]\times...\times [a_k,b_k]$. The {\it boxicity} of $G$,…

We consider additive spanners of unweighted undirected graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $H$ a subgraph of $G$. The most na\"ive way to construct an additive $k$-spanner of $G$ is the following: As long as $H$ is not an additive $k$-spanner…
