Truly Subquadratic Time Algorithms for Diameter and Related Problems in Graphs of Bounded VC-dimension
Timothy M. Chan, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao +3
We give the first truly subquadratic time algorithm, with running time, for computing the diameter of an -vertex unit-disk graph, resolving a central open prob…
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…
Embedding Planar Graphs into Graphs of Treewidth
Hsien-Chih Chang, Vincent Cohen-Addad, Jonathan Conroy +3
Cohen-Addad, Le, Pilipczuk, and Pilipczuk [CLPP23] recently constructed a stochastic embedding with expected distortion of -vertex planar graphs (with polynomial…
Computing Diameter +1 in Truly Subquadratic Time for Unit-Disk Graphs
Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao, Hung Le
Finding the diameter of a graph in general cannot be done in truly subquadratic assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), even when the underlying graph is unweighted…
