Improved Spanning Ratio for Low Degree Plane Spanners
arXiv:1506.09061
Abstract
We describe an algorithm that builds a plane spanner with a maximum degree of 8 and a spanning ratio of approximately 4.414 with respect to the complete graph. This is the best currently known spanning ratio for a plane spanner with a maximum degree of less than 14.
