The Stretch Factor of Hexagon-Delaunay Triangulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 computing the exact stretch factor of “easier” types of Delaunay triangulations, in particular those defined using regular-polygons instead of a circle. Tight bounds exist for Delaunay triangulations defined using an equilateral triangle [6] and a square [2]. In this paper, we determine the exact stretch factor of Delaunay triangulations defined using a hexagon instead of a circle: It is 2. We think that the techniques we have developed may prove useful in future work on computing the exact stretch factor of classical Delaunay triangulations.

In this paper we determine the stretch factor of the L1-Delaunay and L∞-Delaunay triangulations, and we show that this stretch is √ 4 + 2 √ 2 ≈ 2.61. Between any two points x, y of such triangulations, we construct a path whose length is no more than

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 کاملToward the Tight Bound of the Stretch Factor of Delaunay Triangulations
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 triang...
