Abstract

A spanning subgraph S = (V,E′) of a connected simple graph (or digraph) G = (V,E) is an f(x)-spanner if for any pair of vertices u and v, ds(u,v) ≤ f(dG(u,v)) where da and dS are the usual distance functions in graphs (digraphs) G and S, respectively. The delay of the f(x)-spanner is f(x)-x. We investigate the number of edge-disjoint spanners of a given delay that can exist in complete graphs and in complete digraphs.
