Lightness and sparsity are two natural parameters for Euclidean $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanners. Classical results show that, when the dimension $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon>0$ are constant, every set $S$ of $n$ points in $d$-space admits…

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…

A Euclidean noncrossing Steiner $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner for a point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a planar straight-line graph that, for any two points $a, b \in P$, contains a path whose length is at most $1+\epsilon$ times the Euclidean…

Lightness is a fundamental parameter for Euclidean spanners; it is the ratio of the spanner weight to the weight of the minimum spanning tree of a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In a recent breakthrough, Le and Solomon (2019)…

Euclidean spanners are important geometric structures, having found numerous applications over the years. Cornerstone results in this area from the late 80s and early 90s state that for any $d$-dimensional $n$-point Euclidean space, there…

The FOCS'19 paper of Le and Solomon, culminating a long line of research on Euclidean spanners, proves that the lightness (normalized weight) of the greedy $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d})$ for any $d =…

It is known that any $n$-point set in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d = O(1)$, admits: 1) a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner with maximum degree $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d+1})$ and with lightness $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d})$; 2)…

We study graph spanners for point-set in the high-dimensional Euclidean space. On the one hand, we prove that spanners with stretch <\sqrt{2} and subquadratic size are not possible, even if we add Steiner points. On the other hand, if we…

For any constants $d\ge 1$, $\epsilon >0$, $t>1$, and any $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that there is a geometric graph $G=(P,E)$ having $O(n\log^2 n\log\log n)$ edges with the following property: For any $F\subseteq P$,…

Spanners for low dimensional spaces (e.g. Euclidean space of constant dimension, or doubling metrics) are well understood. This lies in contrast to the situation in high dimensional spaces, where except for the work of Har-Peled, Indyk and…

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…

We maintain a $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner over the disk intersection graph of a dynamic set of disks. We restrict all disks to have their diameter in $[4,\Psi]$ for some fixed and known $\Psi$. The resulting $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner has size…

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…

In STOC'95 \cite{ADMSS95} Arya et al.\ showed that for any set of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner with diameter at most 2 (respectively, 3) and $O(n \log n)$ edges (resp., $O(n \log \log n)$ edges) can be built in $O(n…

Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane and a parameter $\varepsilon>0$, a Euclidean $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner is a geometric graph $G=(S,E)$ that contains, for all $p,q\in S$, a $pq$-path of weight at most $(1+\varepsilon)\|pq\|$. We…

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…

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…

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 $G$.…

We give an embedding of the Poincar\'e halfspace $H^D$ into a discrete metric space based on a binary tiling of $H^D$, with additive distortion $O(\log D)$. It yields the following results. We show that any subset $P$ of $n$ points in $H^D$…
