Abstract Let C be the unit circle in R 2 . We can view C as a plane graph whose vertices are all the points on C, and the distance between any two points on C is the length of the smaller arc between them. We consider a graph augmentation problem on C, where we want to place k ⩾ 1 shortcuts on C such that the diameter of the resulting graph is minimized. We analyze for each k with 1 ⩽ k ⩽ 7 what the optimal set of shortcuts is. Interestingly, the minimum diameter one can obtain is not a strictly decreasing function of k. For example, with seven shortcuts one cannot obtain a smaller diameter than with six shortcuts. Finally, we prove that the optimal diameter is 2 + Θ ( 1 / k 2 3 ) for any k.
