Edge-contraction and subdivision conjecture for graph quasi-isometries
Edge-contraction and subdivision conjecture for graph quasi-isometries
Let be a class of connected graphs closed under contracting edges and subdividing edges. For graphs and , an -quasi-isometry has multiplicative distortion and additive distortion .
Edge-contraction and subdivision conjecture. For all , there exists such that if a graph is -quasi-isometric to a graph in , then is -quasi-isometric to a graph in .
This is a weakening of the refuted edge-weighting conjecture. It remains open for classes of connected graphs closed under edge contraction and subdivision.
