Given a set S of n points in R"d, and a connected graph G having the points of S as its vertices, the stretch factor t* of G is defined as the maximal value is the length of a shortest path in G between p and q, and is the Euclidean distance between p and q. We show that an approximation to t* can be obtained by making O(n) approximate shortest path queries in the graph G. We apply this result to obtain efficient algorithms for approximating the stretch factor of Euclidean graphs such as paths, cycles, trees, planar graphs, and general graphs. The main idea behind the algorithm is to use Callahan and Kosaraju's well-separated pair decomposition. (orig.)SIGLEAvailable from TIB Hannover: RR 4485(1999,16) / FIZ - Fachinformationszzentrum ...
