AbstractGiven a metric M=(V,d), a graph G=(V,E) is a t-spanner for M if every pair of nodes in V has a "short" path (i.e., of length at most t times their actual distance) between them in the spanner. Furthermore, this spanner has a hop diameter bounded by D if every pair of nodes has such a short path that also uses at most D edges. We consider the problem of constructing sparse (1+ε)-spanners with small hop diameter for metrics of low doubling dimension. In this paper, we show that given any metric with constant doubling dimension k and any 0<ε<1, one can find (1+ε)-spanner for the metric with nearly linear number of edges (i.e., only O(nlog∈ * n+n ε -O(k)) edges) and constant hop diameter; we can also obtain a (1+ε)-spanner with linear number of edges (i.e., only n ε -O(k) edges) that achieves a hop diameter that grows like the functional inverse of Ackermann's function. Moreover, we prove that such tradeoffs between the number of edges and the hop diameter are asymptotically optimal. © 2008 The Author(s).
