Abstract

We present I/O-efficient algorithms to construct planar Steiner spanners for point sets and sets of polygonal obstacles in the plane, and for constructingthe "dumbbell" spanner of [6] for point sets in higher dimensions. As important ingredients to our algorithms, we present I/O-efficient algorithms to color the vertices of a graph of bounded degree, answer binary search queries on topology buffer trees, and preprocess a rooted tree for answeringprioritized ancestor queries.
