Distortion lower bounds for line embeddings
2008
Information Processing Letters
In this paper, we show how we can derive lower bounds and also compute the exact distortion for the line embeddings of some special metrics, especially trees and graphs with certain structure. Using linear programming to formulate a simpler version of the problem gives an interesting intuition and direction concerning the computation of general lower bounds for distortion into the line. We also show that our lower bounds on special cases of metrics are a lot better than previous lower bounds.
