N2 - A k-spanner of a connected graph G = (V,E) is a subgraph G′ consisting of all the vertices of V and a subset of the edges, with the additional property that the distance between any two vertices in G′ is larger than that distance in G by no more than a factor of k. This paper concerns the problem of finding a 2-spanner in a given graph, with minimum maximum degree. A randomized approximation algorithm is provided for this problem, with approximation ratio of O(Δ 1/4 ). We then present two probabilistic algorithms that are more efficient for sparse graphs. The algorithms are then converted into a deterministic ones, using derandomization.
