Greedy Completion for Weighted $(\alpha,\beta)$-Spanners

Elad Tzalik

We study $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanners for weighted graphs. We propose a simple greedy completion procedure which starts from a sparse initial graph, and repeatedly fixes pairs of vertices with a bad stretch, generalizing Kunedsen's additive completion [SWAT '14]. As an application, we construct $(k,k-1)$-spanners for weighted graphs of size $\tilde{O}(n^{1+1/k})$, which were previously unknown.
