Computing the Dilation of Edge-Augmented Graphs Embedded in Metric Spaces

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Let G = (V,E) be an undirected graph with n vertices embedded in a metric space. We consider the problem of adding a shortcut edge in G that minimizes the dilation of the resulting graph. The fastest algorithm to date for this problem has O(n^4) running time and uses O(n^2) space. We show how to improve running time to O(n^3*log n) while maintaining quadratic space requirement. In fact, our algorithm not only determines the best shortcut but computes the dilation of G U {(u,v)} for every pair of distinct vertices u and v.
