dc.descriptionWe address the following problem: Given a complete $k$-partite geometric graph $K$ whose vertex set is a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, compute a spanner of $K$ that has a ``small'' stretch factor and ``few'' edges. We present two algorithms for this problem. The first algorithm computes a $(5+ε)$-spanner of $K$ with O(n) edges in $O(n \log n)$ time. The second algorithm computes a $(3+ε)$-spanner of $K$ with $O(n \log n)$ edges in $O(n \log n)$ time. The latter result is optimal: We show that for any $2 \leq k \leq n - Θ(\sqrt{n \log n})$, spanners with $O(n \log n)$ edges and stretch factor less than 3 do not exist for all complete $k$-partite geometric graphs.
