چکیده
Given a set S of n points in the plane, a minimumdilation spanning tree of S is a tree with vertex set S of smallest possible dilation. We show that given a set S of n points and a dilation δ > 1, it is NP-hard to determine whether a spanning tree of S with dilation at most δ exists.

A Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...

In a geometric network G = (S,E), the graph distance between two vertices u, v ∈ S is the length of the shortest path in G connecting u to v. The dilation of G is the maximum factor by which the graph distance of a pair of vertices differs from their Euclidean distance. We show that given a set S of n points with integer coordinates in the plane and a rational dilation δ > 1, it is NP-hard to d...

متن کاملComputing Geometric Minimum-Dilation Graphs Is NP-Hard
We prove that computing a geometric minimum-dilation graph on a given set of points in the plane, using not more than a given number of edges, is an NP-hard problem, no matter if edge crossings are allowed or forbidden. We also show that the problem remains NP-hard even when a minimum-dilation tour or path is sought; not even an FPTAS exists in this case.
