An additive spanner of an unweighted undirected graph G with distortion d is a subgraph H such that for any two vertices u, v ∈ G, we have δH(u, v) ≤ δG(u, v) + d. For every...
We present a near linear time algorithm for constructing hierarchical nets in finite metric spaces with constant doubling dimension. This data-structure is then applied to obtain...
Abstract. In a seminal STOC'95 paper, Arya et al. [4] devised a construction that for any set S of n points in Rd and any > 0, provides a (1 + )-spanner with diameter O(lo...
Let (V, δ) be a finite metric space, where V is a set of n points and δ is a distance function defined for these points. Assume that (V, δ) has a constant doubling dimension d...
Let S be a set of n points in IRd and let t > 1 be a real number. A t-spanner for S is a directed graph having the points of S as its vertices, such that for any pair p and q o...
