Improved approximation for the directed spanner problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that the size of the sparsest directed k-spanner of a graph can be approximated in polynomial time to within a factor of ildeO(sqrtn), for all k >= 3. This improves the ildeO(n2/3)-approximation recently shown by Dinitz and Krauthgamer.
