How to Protect Yourself from Threatening Skeletons: Optimal Padded Decompositions for Minor-Free Graphs

Jonathan Conroy, Arnold Filtser

Roughly, a metric space has padding parameter if for every , there is a stochastic decomposition of the metric points into clusters of diameter at most such that ev…

Resolving the Steiner Point Removal Problem in Planar Graphs via Shortcut Partitions

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, Hung Le +3

Recently the authors [CCLMST23] introduced the notion of shortcut partition of planar graphs and obtained several results from the partition, including a tree cover with tre…

DAG Covers: The Steiner Point Effect

Sujoy Bhore, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy +4

Given a weighted digraph , a -DAG cover is a collection of dominating DAGs such that all distances are approximately preserved: for every pair $(u,…

Shortcut Partitions in Minor-Free Graphs: Steiner Point Removal, Distance Oracles, Tree Covers, and More

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, Hung Le +3

The notion of shortcut partition, introduced recently by Chang, Conroy, Le, Milenković, Solomon, and Than [CCLMST23], is a new type of graph partition into low-diameter clusters.…

Optimal Euclidean Tree Covers

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, Hung Le +3

A of a metric space is a collection of trees, where every pair of points has a -stretch path in one of the trees. The…

Light Tree Covers, Routing, and Path-Reporting Oracles via Spanning Tree Covers in Doubling Graphs

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, Hung Le +2

A -stretch tree cover of an edge-weighted -vertex graph is a collection of trees, where every pair of vertices has a -stretch path in one o…
