β¦ Synopsis
A (k)-spanner of a connected graph (G=(V, E)) is a subgraph (G^{\prime}) consisting of all the vertices of (V) and a subset of the edges, with the additional property that the distance between any two vertices in (G^{\prime}) is larger than that distance in (G) by no more than a factor of (k). This note concerns the problem of finding the sparsest 2 -spanner in a given graph and presents an approximation algorithm for this problem with approximation ratio (\log (|E| /|V|)).

Given a graph G = (V E), a subgraph G' = (V E ' ) is a t-spanner of G if for every u, u E V the distance from u to u in G' is at most t times longer than that distance in G. This paper presents some results concerning the existence and efficient constructability of sparse spanners for various classe
