A note on optimal degree-three spanners of the square lattice

Abstract

In this short note, we prove that the degree-three dilation of the square lattice Z2 is 1+2. This disproves a conjecture of Dumitrescu and Ghosh. We give a computer-assisted proof of a local-global property for the uncountable set of geometric graphs achieving the optimal dilation.
