A constructive algorithm for realizing a distance matrix

Abstract: The natural metric of a weighted graph is the length of the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices. The investigated problem consists in a representation of a given metric by a graph, such that the total length of the graph is minimized. For that purpose, we give a constructive algorithm based on a technique of reduction, fusion and deletion. We then show some results on a set of various distance matrices whose optimal realization is known.

“…In [9] and [19] the authors work with any admissible α satisfying the condition of Theorem 1, but, here, we are interested in considering the maximal value α for which D i (α) is still a distance matrix. Moreover, we want to work for each index i of compaction, with i = 1, .…”

“…Once the compaction vector a D of D is computed, we consider the following matrix Remark 5. Notice that now we omit the expression "with respect to a D " and we do not refer to a specific index i, since we are considering the compaction process along all the indices and only with respect to the corresponding values of the compaction vector; while in the standard definition of compaction matrix the computation is taken only with respect to an index and a given value α ( [19]).…”

“…As already mentioned, all these applications have in common the notion of a graph realization of a distance matrix [1]. Over the years several authors studied the characteristics of the distance matrix and its graph and tree realization [23,35,39,52,53,54,56,57].…”

“…The actual construction of optimal realizations is a rather difficult problem even for metric spaces with a small number of points (Koolen and Lesser, 2009), (Sturmfels and Yu, 2004). A constructive algorithm was given in (Varone, 2006) which works well in many cases. As a finite metric space is itself a complete weighted graph, the question amounts to minimizing the total length of the ``connecting threads" between the nodes.…”
