Peeling Half the Onion: Embedding -Outerplanar Graphs into and Trees with a Polynomial Distortion (in )

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, William Eliot +2

Chekuri, Gupta, Newman, Rabinovich, and Sinclair [SODA'03] showed that -outerplanar graphs can be embedded into trees and with distortion . Their result is pe…

DAG Covers for Structured Graphs: 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,v…

Cutting Planarians: Planar Emulators for String Graphs

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, Zihan Tan +1

In this paper we construct distance sketches for intersection graphs of arbitrary path-connected regions in the plane (known as the string graphs) in the constant and $1+\varepsilo…

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. R…
