Spanning Ratio and Maximum Detour of Rectilinear Paths in the L1 Plane

چکیده
The spanning ratio and maximum detour of a graph G embedded in a metric space measure how well G approximates the minimum complete graph containing G and metric space, respectively. In this paper we show that computing the spanning ratio of a rectilinear path P in L1 space has a lower bound of Ω(n log n) in the algebraic computation tree model and describe a deterministic O(n log n) time algorithm. On the other hand, we give a deterministic O(n log n) time algorithm for computing the maximum detour of a rectilinear path P in L1 space and obtain an O(n) time algorithm when P is a monotone rectilinear path.

Computing the Maximum Detour and Spanning Ratio of Planar Paths, Trees, and Cycles
The maximum detour and spanning ratio of an embedded graph G are values that measure how well G approximates Euclidean space and the complete Euclidean graph, respectively. In this paper we describe O(n logn) time algorithms for computing the maximum detour and spanning ratio of a planar polygonal path. These algorithms solve open problems posed in at least two previous works [5,10]. We also ge...

We study the geometric shortest path and the minimum spanning tree problem with neighborhoods in the L1 metric. In this setting, we are given a graph G = (R, E), where R = {R1, . . . , Rn} is a set of polygonal regions in the plane. Placing a point pi inside each region Ri turns G into an edge-weighted graph Gp, p = {p1, . . . , pn}, where the cost of an edge is the distance between the points....
متن کاملDetour Monophonic Graphoidal Covering Number of Corona Product Graph of Some Standard Graphs with the Wheel
A chord of a path $P$ is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of $P$. A path $P$ is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest $x-y$ monophonic path is called an $x-y$ detour monophonic path. A detour monophonic graphoidal cover of a graph $G$ is a collection $psi_{dm}$ of detour monophonic paths in $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ is an internal vertex of at most on...
متن کاملEuclidean Shortest Path Problem with Rectilinear Obstacles1
This paper presents new heuristic algorithms using the guided A* search method : Guided Minimum Detour (GMD) algorithm and Line-by-Line Guided Minimum Detour (LGMD) algorithm for finding optimal rectilinear (L,) shortest paths in the presence of rectilinear obstacles. The GMD algorithm runs O(nhr(1ogN) + tN) in time and takes O(N) in space, where N is the number of extended line segments includ...
متن کاملComputing the Detour of Polygons
Let P be a simple polygon in 2 with n vertices. The detour of P between two points, p, q ∈ P , is the length of a shortest path contained in P and connecting p to q, divided by the distance of these points. The detour of the whole polygon is the maximum detour between any two points in P . We first analyze properties of pairs of points with maximum detour. Next, we use these properties to achie...
