Fast greedy algorithms for constructing sparse geometric spanners
(2002) In SIAM Journal on Computing 31(5). p.1479-1500- Abstract
- Given a set V of n points in R-d and a real constant t > 1, we present the first O(n log n)-time algorithm to compute a geometric t-spanner on V. A geometric t-spanner on V is a connected graph G = ( V, E) with edge weights equal to the Euclidean distances between the endpoints, and with the property that, for all u, v is an element of V the distance between u and v in G is at most t times the Euclidean distance between u and v. The spanner output by the algorithm has O(n) edges and weight O(1).wt (MST), and its degree is bounded by a constant.
