Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem

We prove that the size of the sparsest directed k-spanner of a graph can be approximated in polynomial time to within a factor of $ tilde{O}( sqrt{n})$, for all k >= 3. This improves the $ tilde{O}(n^

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem

We prove that the size of the sparsest directed k-spanner of a graph can be approximated in polynomial time to within a factor of $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{n})$, for all k >= 3. This improves the $\tilde{O}(n^{2/3})$-approximation recently shown by Dinitz and Krauthgamer.
