On minimum average stretch spanning trees in polygonal 2-trees. (English) Zbl 1310.05059
Summary: A spanning tree of an unweighted graph is a minimum average stretch spanning tree if it minimizes the ratio of sum of the distances in the tree between the end vertices of the graph edges and the number of graph edges. For a polygonal 2-tree on $$n$$ vertices, we present an algorithm to compute a minimum average stretch spanning tree in $$O(n \log n)$$ time. This algorithm also finds a minimum fundamental cycle basis in polygonal 2-trees. We show that there is a unique minimum cycle basis in a polygonal 2-tree and it can be computed in linear time.
