Constructing Degree-3 Spanners with Other Sparseness Properties

چکیده
Let V be any set of n points in k-dimensional Euclidean space. A subgraph of the complete Euclidean graph is a t-spanner if for any ~ and ~ in V, the length of the shortest path from u to v in the spanner is at most t times d(~, ~). We show that for any 5 > 1, there exists a polynomial-time constructihle tspanner (where ~ is a constant that depends only on 5 and k) with the following properties. Its maximum degree is 3, it has at most n 9 6 edges, and its total edge weight is comparable to the minimum spanning tree of V (for/~ < 3 its weight is O(1). wt(MgT), and for k > 3 its weight is O(log n). wt(MST)).

Comparison of Geometric Spanner Construction Methods for Network Applications
There are a number of applications of geometric spanners in wireless, wired and sensor networks, including decentralized low-state routing in wireless ad hoc networks, locality-aware overlays on the internet and broadcast and multicast via flooding. A number of different methods have been developed for constructing spanners, which all have low stretch but differ in other properties such as degr...
متن کاملConstruction of Minimum-Weight Spanners
Spanners are sparse subgraphs that preserve distances up to a given factor in the underlying graph. Recently spanners have found important practical applications in metric space searching and message distribution in networks. These applications use some variant of the socalled greedy algorithm for constructing the spanner — an algorithm that mimics Kruskal’s minimum spanning tree algorithm. Gre...
متن کاملOn Spanners and Lightweight Spanners of Geometric Graphs
We consider the problem of computing spanners of Euclidean and unit disk graphs embedded in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane. We are particularly interested in spanners that possess useful properties such as planarity, bounded degree, and/or light weight. Such spanners have been extensively studied in the area of computational geometry and have been used as the building block for constructin...
متن کاملGeodesic Spanners on Polyhedral Surfaces
In this paper we consider the problem of efficiently constructing geodesic t-spanners. We consider finding spanners on the surface of a 3 dimensional polyhedron. If Steiner vertices are allowed on the surface of the polyhedron, then we are able to construct sparse t-spanners. If no Steiner vertices are allowed, then we establish lower bounds on the maximum node degree, depending on the spanning...
متن کاملOn Geometric Spanners of Euclidean Graphs and their Applications in Wireless Networks
We consider the problem of constructing a bounded-degree planar geometric spanner for a unit disk graph modeling a wireless network. The related problem of constructing a planar geometric spanner of a Euclidean graph has been extensively studied in the literature. It is well known that the Delaunay subgraph is a planar geometric spanner with stretch factor ; however, its degree may not be bound...
