In network design problems, such as compact routing, the goal is to route packets between nodes using the (approximated) shortest paths. A desirable property of these routes is a small number of hops, which makes them more reliable, and reduces the transmission costs. Following the overwhelming success of stochastic tree embeddings for algorithmic design, Haeupler, Hershkowitz, and Zuzic (STOC’21) studied hop-constrained Ramsey-type metric embeddings into trees. Specifically, embedding f ∶ G(V…

Can't See The Forest for the Trees: Navigating Metric Spaces by Bounded Hop-Diameter Spanners
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2021
Spanners for metric spaces have been extensively studied, both in general metrics and in restricted classes, perhaps most notably in low-dimensional Euclidean spaces — due to their numerous
The state of the art for weak and strong decompositions for free graphs are matched, and aparse cover scheme is constructed to construct $(O(d),\tilde{O}(d))$-sparsecover scheme for such graphs.

Prioritized Metric Structures and Embedding
• Computer Science, Mathematics
STOC

This paper shows that given a priority ranking of the graph vertices one can devise a metric data structure in which the stretch incurred by any pair containing a vertex xj will depend on the rank j of the vertex, and shows that other important parameters, such as the label size and (in some sense) the dimension, may depend only on j.

It is shown how to efficiently compute an (implicit) FRT embedding in a decentralized manner and how to use the embedding to obtain efficient expected O(log n)-approximate distributed algorithms for various problems, in particular the generalized Steiner forest problem, the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem, and the k-source shortest paths problem.

It is proved the existence of an oblivious routing scheme that is poly(logn)-competitive in terms of (congestion + dilation), thus resolving a well-known question in oblivious routing, as an analogue of the celebrated oblivious routing results of R'acke.
