Triangulating the Real Projective Plane

We consider the problem of computing a triangulation of the real projective plane P , given a finite point set P = {p1, p2, . . . , pn} as input. We prove that a triangulation of P always exists if at least six points in P are in general position, i.e., no three of them are collinear. We also design an algorithm for triangulating P if this necessary condition holds. As far as we know, this is t...
