Brief Announcement: Universal Data Aggregation Trees for Sensor Networks in Low Doubling Metrics
Abstract. We describe a novel approach for constructing a single spanning tree for data aggregation towards a sink node. The tree is universal in the sense that it is static and in...

Searching in metric spaces by spatial approximation
We propose a new data structure to search in metric spaces. A metric space is formed by a collection of objects and a distance function de ned among them, which satis es the trian...

When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...

Embedding metrics into ultrametrics and graphs into spanning trees with constant average distortion
This paper addresses the basic question of how well can a tree approximate distances of a metric space or a graph. Given a graph, the problem of constructing a spanning tree in a ...

Steiner points in tree metrics don't (really) help
Consider an edge-weighted tree T = (V, E, w : E R+ ), in which a subset R of the nodes (called the required nodes) are colored red and the remaining nodes in S = V \R are colored ...
