📝 Abstract

Hyperbolic tilings are natural infinite planar graphs where each vertex has degree $q$ and each face has $p$ edges for some $\frac1p+\frac1q<\frac12$. We study the structure of shortest paths in such graphs. We show that given a set of $n$ terminals, we can compute a so-called isometric closure (closely related to the geodesic convex hull) of the terminals in near-linear time, using a classic geometric convex hull algorithm as a black box. We show that the size of the convex hull is $O(N)$ where $N$ is the total length of the paths to the terminals from a fixed origin. Furthermore, we prove that the geodesic convex hull of a set of $n$ terminals has treewidth only $\max(12,O(\log\frac{n}{p + q}))$, a bound independent of the distance of the points involved. As a consequence, we obtain algorithms for subset TSP and Steiner tree with running time $O(N \log N) + \mathrm{poly}(\frac{n}{p + q}) \cdot N$.
