Abstract
Let T be a tree with n vertices in a metric space. We consider the problem of adding one shortcut edge to T to minimize the radius of the resulting graph.
For the continuous version of the problem where a center may be a point in the interior of an edge of the graph we give a linear time algorithm. In the case when the center is restricted to lie on a vertex, the discrete version, we give an expected time algorithm.
Previously linear-time algorithms were known for the special case when the input graph is a path.
