On plane geometric spanners: A survey and open problems

چکیده
Given a weighted graph G = (V,E) and a real number t ≥ 1, a t-spanner of G is a spanning subgraph G′ with the property that for every edge xy in G, there exists a path between x and y in G′ whose weight is no more than t times the weight of the edge xy. We review results and present open problems on different variants of the problem of constructing plane geometric t-spanners.

Lower Bounds for Computing Geometric Spanners and Approximate Shortest Paths
We consider the problems of constructing geometric spanners, possibly containing Steiner points, for sets of points in the d-dimensional space IR d , and constructing spanners and approximate shortest paths among a collection of polygonal obstacles in the plane. The complexities of these problems are shown to be (n log n) in the algebraic computation tree model. Since O(n log n)-time algorithms...
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 کاملHomotopic spanners
We introduce the concept of homotopic spanners in the plane with obstacles and show lower bounds on the number of edges that they require. We also provide a construction based on Θ-graphs for constructing homotopic spanners.
متن کاملPlane geometric graph augmentation: a generic perspective∗
Graph augmentation problems are motivated by network design, and have been studied extensively in optimization. We consider augmentation problems over plane geometric graphs, that is, graphs given with a crossing-free straight-line embedding in the plane. The geometric constraints on the possible new edges render some of the simplest augmentation problems intractable, and in many cases only ext...
متن کاملSpanners for Geometric Intersection Graphs
Efficient algorithms are presented for constructing spanners in geometric intersection graphs. For a unit ball graph in R, a (1+ǫ)-spanner with O(nǫ) edges is obtained using efficient partitioning of the space into hypercubes and solving bichromatic closest pair problems. The spanner construction has almost equivalent complexity to the construction of Euclidean minimum spanning trees. The resul...
