Harmonic deformation of Delaunay triangulations

Restricted Constrained Delaunay Triangulations

We introduce the restricted constrained Delaunay triangulation (restricted CDT). The restricted CDT generalizes the restricted Delaunay triangulation, allowing us to define a triangulation of a surface that includes a set of constraining segments. Under certain sampling conditions, the restricted CDT includes every constrained segment and suggests an algorithm that produces a triangulation of t...

Blocking Delaunay triangulations

Given a set B of n black points in general position, we say that a set of white points W blocks B if in the Delaunay triangulation of [Formula: see text] there is no edge connecting two black points. We give the following bounds for the size of the smallest set W blocking B: (i) [Formula: see text] white points are always sufficient to block a set of n black points, (ii) if B is in convex posit...

Higher Order Delaunay Triangulations

Dynamic Maintenance of Delaunay Triangulations

We describe and analyze the complexity of a procedure for computing and updating a Delaunay triangulation of a set of points in the plane subject to incremental insertions and deletions. Our method is based on a recent algo rithm of Guibas, Knuth, and Sharir for constructing Delaunay triangulations by incremental point insertion only. Our implementation features several meth ods that are not us...

The Stability of Delaunay Triangulations

We introduce a parametrized notion of genericity for Delaunay triangulations which, in particular, implies that the Delaunay simplices of δ-generic point sets are thick. Equipped with this notion, we study the stability of Delaunay triangulations under perturbations of the metric and of the vertex positions. We quantify the magnitude of the perturbations under which the Delaunay triangulation r...
