Pseudo-Triangulations — a Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pseudo-triangle is a simple polygon with exactly three convex vertices, and a pseudo-triangulation is a face-to-face tiling of a planar region into pseudo-triangles. Pseudo-triangulations appear as data structures in computational geometry, as planar bar-and-joint frameworks in rigidity theory and as projections of locally convex surfaces. This survey of current literature includes combinatorial properties and counting of special classes, rigidity theoretical results, representations as polytopes, straight-line drawings from abstract versions called combinatorial pseudo-triangulations, algorithms and applications of pseudo-triangulations.

متن کاملPseudo-tetrahedral complexes
A pseudo-triangulation is a cell complex in the plane whose cells are pseudo-triangles, i.e., simple polygons with exactly three convex vertices (so-called corners). Being an interesting and flexible generalization of triangulations, pseudo-triangulations have found their place in computational geometry; see e.g. [8, 11, 7, 1] and references therein. Unlike triangulations, pseudo-triangulations...
متن کاملOn numbers of pseudo-triangulations
We study the maximum numbers of pseudo-triangulations and pointed pseudotriangulations that can be embedded over a specific set of points in the plane or contained in a specific triangulation. We derive the bounds O(5.45 ) and Ω(2.41 ) for the maximum number of pointed pseudo-triangulations that can be contained in a specific triangulation over a set of N points. For the number of all pseudo-tr...
متن کاملCounting and enumerating pseudo-triangulations with the greedy flip algorithm∗
This paper studies pseudo-triangulations for a given point set in the plane. Pseudo-triangulations have many properties of triangulations, and have more freedom since polygons with more than three vertices are allowed as long as they have exactly inner angles less than π. In particular, there is a natural flip operation on every internal edge. We establish fundamental properties of pseudo-trian...
متن کامل3-Colorability of Pseudo-Triangulations
Deciding 3-colorability for general plane graphs is known to be an NP-complete problem. However, for certain classes of plane graphs, like triangulations, polynomial time algorithms exist. We consider the family of pseudo-triangulations (a generalization of triangulations) and prove NP-completeness for this class. The complexity status does not change if the maximum face-degree is bounded to fo...
