We present improved upper and lower bounds on the spanning ratio of $\theta$-graphs with at least six cones. Given a set of points in the plane, a $\theta$-graph partitions the plane around each vertex into $m$ disjoint cones, each having…

A Delaunay graph built on a planar point set has an edge between two vertices when there exists a disk with the two vertices on its boundary and no vertices in its interior. When the disk is replaced with an equilateral triangle, the…

Given a set of points in the plane, we show that the $\theta$-graph with 5 cones is a geometric spanner with spanning ratio at most $\sqrt{50 + 22 \sqrt{5}} \approx 9.960$. This is the first constant upper bound on the spanning ratio of…

We show that, unlike the Yao-Yao graph $YY_6$, the Theta-Theta graph $\Theta\Theta_6$ defined by six cones is a spanner for sets of points in convex position. We also show that, for sets of points in non-convex position, the spanning ratio…

For a set of points in the plane and a fixed integer $k > 0$, the Yao graph $Y_k$ partitions the space around each point into $k$ equiangular cones of angle $\theta=2\pi/k$, and connects each point to a nearest neighbor in each cone. It is…

Finding the exact spanning ratio of a Delaunay graph has been one of the longstanding open problems in Computational Geometry. Currently there are only four convex shapes for which the exact spanning ratio of their Delaunay graph is known:…

We present a routing algorithm for the directed $\Theta_4$-graph, here denoted as the $\overrightarrow{\Theta_4}}$-graph, that computes a path between any two vertices $s$ and $t$ having length at most $17$ times the Euclidean distance…

We present improved upper bounds on the spanning ratio of constrained $\theta$-graphs with at least 6 cones and constrained Yao-graphs with 5 or at least 7 cones. Given a set of points in the plane, a Yao-graph partitions the plane around…

We present a deterministic local routing algorithm that is guaranteed to find a path between any pair of vertices in a half-$\theta_6$-graph (the half-$\theta_6$-graph is equivalent to the Delaunay triangulation where the empty region is an…

Let $P$ be a finite set of points in the plane and $S$ a set of non-crossing line segments with endpoints in $P$. The visibility graph of $P$ with respect to $S$, denoted $Vis(P,S)$, has vertex set $P$ and an edge for each pair of vertices…

We study the spanning properties of Theta-Theta graphs. Similar in spirit with the Yao-Yao graphs, Theta-Theta graphs partition the space around each vertex into a set of k cones, for some fixed integer k > 1, and select at most one edge…

We present tight bounds on the spanning ratio of a large family of ordered $\theta$-graphs. A $\theta$-graph partitions the plane around each vertex into $m$ disjoint cones, each having aperture $\theta = 2 \pi/m$. An ordered $\theta$-graph…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ vertices in the plane and $S$ a set of non-crossing line segments between vertices in $P$, called constraints. Two vertices are visible if the straight line segment connecting them does not properly intersect any…

Let $S$ be a finite set of points in the Euclidean plane. Let $D$ be a Delaunay triangulation of $S$. The {\em stretch factor} (also known as {\em dilation} or {\em spanning ratio}) of $D$ is the maximum ratio, among all points $p$ and $q$…

We show an upper bound of $\frac{ \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{10}\right) }{ \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{5}\right)-\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{10}\right) } <5.70$ on the spanning ratio of $\Theta_5$-graphs, improving on the previous best known upper bound of…

Spanner construction is a well-studied problem and Delaunay triangulations are among the most popular spanners. Tight bounds are known if the Delaunay triangulation is constructed using an equilateral triangle, a square, or a regular…

$\Theta_6$-Graphs graphs are important geometric graphs that have many applications especially in wireless sensor networks. They are equivalent to Delaunay graphs where empty equilateral triangles take the place of empty circles. We…

In this thesis, we study two different graph problems. The first problem revolves around geometric spanners. Here, we have a set of points in the plane and we want to connect them with straight line segments, such that there is a path…

We study online routing algorithms on the $\Theta$6-graph and the half-$\Theta$6-graph (which is equivalent to a variant of the Delaunay triangulation). Given a source vertex s and a target vertex t in the $\Theta$6-graph (resp.…

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 $G$,…
