....factors for bounded degree spanning trees. Khuller, Raghavachari, and Young [10] took an in depth look into this question and managed to achieve factors 3 2 and 5 4 for K = 3 and K = 4 respectively in the plane. Since then, no improvements have been made, despite frequent references to their work [2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 16, 17]. We report the first progress in 8 years: in the Euclidean plane, there always exists degree 3 and degree 4 spanning trees with weights within factors 1.402 and 1.143 respectively of the MST weight. Such trees can be constructed in polynomial time. Immediately, we obtain a factor 1.402 and ....

All these algorithms compute t spanners for any given constant t 1. In this paper, we consider the construction of plane t spanners. Obviously, in order for a t spanner to be plane, t must be at least 2. It is known that the Delaunay triangulation is a t spanner for t = 2 = 3 cos( 6) ....

....performs quite well when each individual node s visible range is large and nodes are randomly distributed, it does not perform well in more general cases. In particular, the GG and RNG are not good spanners: nodes that can be reached via a path with few hops might become far apart in the GG or RNG [10]. This fact limits the quality of paths even if we use globally optimum routing methods on these subgraphs. The stretch factor of paths in a graph captures this aspect of path quality. Roughly speaking, the stretch factor of a subgraph G 0 of a graph G measures the worst case ratio between the ....

Wu et al. used a distributed algorithm to compute the connected dominating set; however, this could perform badly in the worst case (O(n) approximation) 23] Spanner graphs have been heavily studied in computational geometry [10]. The Delaunay triangulation has been shown to be a planar spanner [5, 8, 14] However, little is known about restricted spanner graphs, where only edges shorter than 1 are allowed. Also, little is known about how to maintain spanner graphs in a distributed manner when the points move. 3 Routing ....

A variety of low dilation graphs that could be used for this purpose are surveyed by Eppstein (1996). For our implementation, we have chosen a planar graph called a Delaunay triangulation (Delaunay 1934; Fortune 1992) Delaunay triangulations have several desirable properties. ffl They provide a structure that makes it possible to quickly determine edge weights in the graph. ffl Local ....
