....A powerful technique that has been successfully used recently in this context is to embed the given metric space in a simpler metric space such that the distances are approximately preserved in the embedding. New and improved algorithms have resulted from this idea for several important problems [20, 10, 4, 6]. Based on the work of Karp [16] and Alon et al. 1] Bartal defined probabilistic approximation of metric spaces by a set of simpler metric spaces. Formally, let M be a finite metric space defined on a vertex set V . For two metric spaces M 1 and M 2 defined on the same vertex set V , M 1 ....
