The greedy spanner in a low dimensional Euclidean space is a fundamental geometric construction that has been extensively studied over three decades as it possesses the two most basic properties of a good spanner: constant maximum degree and constant lightness. Recently, Eppstein and Khodabandeh [EK21] showed that the greedy spanner in R admits a sublinear separator in a strong sense: any subgraph of k vertices of the greedy spanner in R has a separator of size O( √ k). Their technique is… Expand

This paper resolves the long-standing conjecture of Arya et al. that the weight bound can be improved by a logarithmic factor, without increasing the degree and the diameter of the spanner, and within the same running time, and demonstrates that the conjecture holds true not only in constant-dimensional Euclidean spaces, but also in doubling metrics.

It is shown that any (1+ε) -spanner must have lightness Ω(ε^-d), and the upper bound on the lightness of the greedy spanner is improved, implying that the greedy (and other) spanners achieve the optimal size. Expand
