The emergence of sparse spanners and well-separated pair decomposition under anarchy

A spanner graph on a set of points in R<sup><em>d</em></sup> provides shortest paths between any pair of points with lengths at most a constant factor of their Euclidean distance. A spanner with a sparse set of edges is thus a good candidate for network backbones, as desired...
