Abstract

A spanning tree T of a graph G is said to be a tree t-spanner if the distance between any two vertices in T is at most t times their distance in G. A graph that has a tree t-spanner is called a tree t-spanner admissible graph. It has been shown in [3] that the problem of recognizing whether a graph admits a tree t-spanner is NP-complete for t ≥ 4. In this paper, we present a linear time algorithm for constructing a tree 4-spanner in a tree 4-spanner admissible 2-tree.
