It has long been known that $d$-dimensional Euclidean point sets admit $(1+\epsilon)$-stretch spanners with lightness $W_E = \epsilon^{-O(d)}$, that is total edge weight at most $W_E$ times the weight of the minimum spaning tree of the set…
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…
We propose a data structure in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space that can be considered a natural counterpart to quadtrees in Euclidean spaces. Based on this data structure we propose a so-called L-order for hyperbolic point sets, which is…
We investigate how the complexity of Euclidean TSP for point sets $P$ inside the strip $(-\infty,+\infty)\times [0,\delta]$ depends on the strip width $\delta$. We obtain two main results. First, for the case where the points have distinct…
A spanner of a graph is a subgraph that preserves lengths of shortest paths up to a multiplicative distortion. For every $k$, a spanner with size $O(n^{1+1/k})$ and stretch $(2k+1)$ can be constructed by a simple centralized greedy…
Spanners, emulators, and approximate distance oracles can be viewed as lossy compression schemes that represent an unweighted graph metric in small space, say $\tilde{O}(n^{1+\delta})$ bits. There is an inherent tradeoff between the…
In this paper, we present approximate distance and shortest-path oracles for fault-tolerant Euclidean spanners motivated by the routing problem in real-world road networks. An $f$-fault-tolerant Euclidean $t$-spanner for a set $V$ of $n$…
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…
Fault-tolerant spanners are fundamental objects that preserve distances in graphs even under edge failures. A long line of work culminating in Bodwin, Dinitz, Robelle (SODA 2022) gives $(2k-1)$-stretch, $f$-fault-tolerant spanners with…
Consider an undirected weighted graph G=(V,E) with |V|=n and |E|=m, where each vertex v is assigned a label from a set L of \ell labels. We show how to construct a compact distance oracle that can answer queries of the form: "what is the…
We study streaming algorithms for the fundamental geometric problem of computing the cost of the Euclidean Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) on an $n$-point set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In the streaming model, the points in $X$ can be added and…
We present the first polynomial time algorithm for the f vertex fault tolerant spanner problem, which achieves almost optimal spanner size. Our algorithm for constructing f vertex fault tolerant spanner takes $O(k\cdot n\cdot m^2 \cdot W)$…
An $f(d)$-spanner of an unweighted $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ satisfying that $dist_H(u, v)$ is at most $f(dist_G(u, v))$ for every $u,v \in V$. We present new spanner constructions that achieve a nearly optimal stretch of…
Inspired by the seminal works of Khuller et al. (STOC 1994) and Chan (SoCG 2003) we study the bottleneck version of the Euclidean bounded-degree spanning tree problem. A bottleneck spanning tree is a spanning tree whose largest edge-length…
A spanner is reliable if it can withstand large, catastrophic failures in the network. More precisely, any failure of some nodes can only cause a small damage in the remaining graph in terms of the dilation, that is, the spanner property is…
We study spanners in planar domains, including polygonal domains, polyhedral terrain, and planar metrics. Previous work showed that for any constant $\epsilon\in (0,1)$, one could construct a $(2+\epsilon)$-spanner with $O(n\log(n))$ edges…
A $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate distance oracle of an edge-weighted graph is a data structure that returns an approximate shortest path distance between any two query vertices up to a $(1+\epsilon)$ factor. Thorup (FOCS 2001, JACM 2004) and…
A $(1+\varepsilon)\textit{-stretch tree cover}$ of a metric space is a collection of trees, where every pair of points has a $(1+\varepsilon)$-stretch path in one of the trees. The celebrated $\textit{Dumbbell Theorem}$ [Arya et~al.…
$t$-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…
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 $G$…
