On the Construction of Abstract Voronoi Diagrams

چکیده
We show that the abstract Voronoi diagram of n sites in the plane can be constructed in time O(n log n) by a randomized algorithm. This yields an alternative, but simpler, O(n log n) algorithm in many previously considered cases and the first O(n log n) algorithm in some cases, e.g., disjoint convex sites with the Euclidean distance function. Abstract Voronoi diagrams are given by a family of bisecting curves and were recently introduced by Klein [-13]. Our algorithm is based on Clarkson and Shor's randomized incremental construction technique [7].

Abstract Voronoi diagrams were introduced by R. Klein (1988) as an axiomatic basis of Voronoi diagrams. We show how to construct abstract Voronoi diagrams in time O(n log n) by a randomized algorithm, which is based on Clarkson and Shor’s randomized incremental construction technique (1989). The new algorithm has the following advantages over previous algorithms: l It can handle a much wider cl...

متن کاملVoronoi Diagrams in Linear Time ∗
Voronoi diagrams are a well-studied data structure of proximity information, and although most cases require Ω(n log n) construction time, it is interesting and useful to develop linear-time algorithms for certain Voronoi diagrams. We develop a linear-time algorithm for abstract Voronoi diagrams in a domain where each site has a unique face and no pair of bisectors intersect outside the domain....

Voronoi diagrams are a well-studied data structure of proximity information, and although most cases require Ω(n log n) construction time, it is interesting and useful to develop linear-time algorithms for certain Voronoi diagrams. For example, the Voronoi diagram of points in convex position, and the medial axis and constrained Voronoi diagram of a simple polygon are a tree or forest structure...
متن کاملNew Results on Abstract Voronoi Diagrams
Voronoi diagrams are a fundamental structure used in many areas of science. For a given set of objects, called sites, the Voronoi diagram separates the plane into regions, such that points belonging to the same region have got the same nearest site. This definition clearly depends on the type of given objects, they may be points, line segments, polygons, etc. and the distance measure used. To f...
