  21. Tree 3-spanner for a bipartite ATE-free graph e1 • An ATE(Asteroidal-Triple-Edge)e1,e2,e3 [Mul97]: Any two of them there is a path from one to the other avoids the neighborhood of the third one. [Lamma] interval bigraphs ⊂ bipartite ATE-free graphs ⊂ chordal bipartite graphs. e2 e3

  22. Tree 3-spanner for a bipartite ATE-free graph • A maximum neighborw of u: N(N(u))=N(w) [Lamma] Any chordal bipartite graph has a vertex with a maximum neighbor. u w • chordal bipartite graph⇔ • bipartite graph • any cycle of length at least 6 has a chord

  23. Tree 3-spanner for a bipartite ATE-free graph • G; connected bipartite ATE-free graph • u; a vertex with maximum neighbor For any connected component S induced by V\Dk-1(u), there is w in Nk-1(u) s.t. N(w)⊇S∩Nk(u) w … u S
