%0 Journal Article %T Improved Spanning Ratio for Low Degree Plane Spanners %A Prosenjit Bose %A Darryl Hill %A Michiel Smid %J Computer Science %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We describe an algorithm that builds a plane spanner with a maximum degree of 8 and a spanning ratio of approximately 4.414 with respect to the complete graph. This is the best currently known spanning ratio for a plane spanner with a maximum degree of less than 14. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.09061v2
