چکیده

We describe an algorithm to construct an intrinsic Delaunay triangulation of a smooth closed submanifold of Euclidean space. Using results established in a companion paper on the stability of Delaunay triangulations on δ-generic point sets, we establish sampling criteria which ensure that the intrinsic Delaunay complex coincides with the restricted Delaunay complex and also with the recently introduced tangential Delaunay complex. The algorithm generates a point set that meets the required criteria while the tangential complex is being constructed. In this way the computation of geodesic distances is avoided, the runtime is only linearly dependent on the ambient dimension, and the Delaunay complexes are guaranteed to be triangulations of the manifold.

Nous montrons également comment produire de tels ensembles de points. Mots-clés : triangulation de Delaunay, sous-variétés, géométrie riemannienne Constructing intrinsic DTs 3

Sweep Algorithms for Constructing Higher-Dimensional Constrained Delaunay Triangulations

I discuss algorithms for constructing constrained Delaunay triangulations (CDTs) in dimensions higher than two. If the CDT of a set of vertices and constraining simplices exists, it can be constructed in O(nvns) time, where nv is the number of input vertices and ns is the number of output d-simplices. The CDT of a starshaped polytope can be constructed in O(ns log nv) time, yielding an efficien...

Construction of Three-Dimensional Improved-Quality Triangulations Using Local Transformations

Three-dimensional Delaunay triangulations are the most common form of three-dimensional triangulations known, but they are not very suitable for tetrahedral nite element meshes because they tend to contain poorly-shaped sliver tetrahedra. In this paper, we present an algorithm for constructing improved-quality triangulations with respect to a tetrahedron shape measure. This algorithm uses combi...

Three-Dimensional Constrained Delaunay Triangulation: a Minimalist Approach

In this paper we summarize our experiences with 3D constrained Delaunay triangulation algorithms for industrial applications. In addition, we report a robust implementation process for constructing 3D constrained triangulations from initial unconstrained triangulations, based on a minimalist approach, in which we minimize the use of geometrical operations such as intersections. This is achieved...

General-Dimensional Constrained Delaunay and Constrained Regular Triangulations, I: Combinatorial Properties

Two-dimensional constrained Delaunay triangulations are geometric structures that are popular for interpolation and mesh generation because they respect the shapes of user-specified domains, they have “nicely shaped” triangles that optimize several criteria, and they are easy to construct and update. The present work generalizes constrained Delaunay triangulations (CDTs) to higher dimensions, a...

Constrained Delaunay Triangulations and Algorithms

Two-dimensional constrained Delaunay triangulations (of a planar straight-linegraph) introduced independently by Lee et al. [2] and Chew [1] are well studied struc-tures and can be constructed in optimal time. However, the generalization of suchobjects to three and higher dimensions is much less discussed in literature.In this talk, we first define a constrained Delaunay tri...
