Toward the Tight Bound of the Stretch Factor of Delaunay Triangulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the tight bound of the stretch factor of the Delaunay triangulation by studying the stretch factor of the chain (Xia 2011). We define a sequence Γ = (Γ1,Γ2,Γ3, . . .) where Γi is the maximum stretch factor of a chain of i circles, and show that Γ is strictly increasing. We then present an improved lower bound of 1.5932 for the stretch factors of the Delaunay triangulation. This bound is derived from a sequence of chains sharing a set of properties. We conjecture that these properties are also shared by a chain with the worst stretch factor.

The Stretch Factor of Hexagon-Delaunay Triangulations
The problem of computing the exact stretch factor (i.e., the tight bound on the worst case stretch factor) of a Delaunay triangulation has been open for more than three decades. Over the years, a series of upper and lower bounds on the exact stretch factor have been obtained but the gap between them is still large. An alternative approach to solving the problem is to develop techniques for comp...
متن کاملOn the Dilation of Delaunay Triangulations of Points in Convex Position
Let S be a finite set of points in the Euclidean plane, and let E be the complete graph whose point-set is S. Chew, in 1986, proved a lower bound of π/2 on the stretch factor of the Delaunay triangulation of S (with respect to E), and conjectured that this bound is tight. Dobkin, Friedman, and Supowit, in 1987, showed that the stretch factor of the Delaunay triangulation of S is at most π( √ 5 ...

متن کاملThe Stretch Factor of the Delaunay Triangulation Is Less than 1.998
Let S be a finite set of points in the Euclidean plane. Let D be a Delaunay triangulation of S. The stretch factor (also known as dilation or spanning ratio) of D is the maximum ratio, among all points p and q in S, of the shortest path distance from p to q in D over the Euclidean distance ||pq||. Proving a tight bound on the stretch factor of the Delaunay triangulation has been a long standing...
