Abstract

The spanning ratio and maximum detour of a graph G embedded in a metric space measure how well G approximates the minimum complete graph containing G and metric space, respectively. In this paper we show that computing the spanning ratio of a rectilinear path P in L1 space has a lower bound of Ω(n logn) in the algebraic computation tree model and describe a deterministic O(n log2 n) time algorithm. On the other hand, we give a deterministic O(n log2 n) time algorithm for computing the maximum detour of a rectilinear path P in L1 space and obtain an O(n) time algorithm when P is a monotone rectilinear path.
