N2 - Let G = (V, E, ℓ) be a n-nodes m-edges weighted undirected graph, where ℓ : E → (0, ∞) is a real length function defined on its edges. Let g be the length of the shortest cycle in G. We present an algorithm that in O(kn1+1/k log n + m(k + log n)) expected running time finds a cycle of length at most 4k/3 g, for every integer k ≥ 1. This improves upon the previous best algorithm that in O((n1+1/k log n+ m) log(nM)) time, where ℓ : E → [1, M] is an integral length function, finds a cycle of length at most 2kg [KRS+22]. For k = 1 our algorithm also improves the result of Roditty and Tov [RT13].
