ABSTRACT

If V is a set of n points in the unit square [0,1]2, and if R:V-> Re+ is an assignment of positive real numbers (radii) to to those points, define a graph G(R) as follows: [v,w] is an undirected edge if and only if the Euclidean distance d(v,w) is less than or equal to min(R(v),R(w)). Given α≥ 1 and k∈ Z+, let Rk* be the range assignment that minimizes the function J(R) =sum limitsv #8712; VR(v)α, subject to the constraint that G(R) has at least k edge-disjoint spanning trees. For n random points in [0,1]2, the expected value of the optimum, E(J(Rk*)), is asymptotically Θ(n1-α/2). This is proved by analyzing a crude approximation algorithm that finds a range assignment Rka such that the ratio J(Rka)/J(Rk*) is bounded.
