Additive graph spanners

From MaRDI portal





A spanning subgraph \(S=(V,E')\) of a connected simple graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a \(f(x)\)-spanner if for any pair of nodes \(u\) and \(v\), \(d_ S(u,v) \leq f \bigl( d_ G(u,v) \bigr)\) where \(d_ G\) and \(d_ S\) are the usual distance functions in graphs \(G\) and \(S\), respectively. We are primarily interested in \((t+x)\)-spanners, which we refer to as additive spanners. We construct low-degree additive spanners for \(X\)- trees, pyramids and multidimensional grids. We prove, for arbitrary \(t>0\), that to determine whether a given graph \(G\) has an additive spanner with no more than \(m\) edges is \(NP\)-complete.
