چکیده

This paper present how space of spheres and shelling can be used to delete e ciently a point from d-dimensional triangulation. In 2-dimension, if k is the degree of the deleted vertex, the complexity is O(k log k), but we notice that this number apply only to low cost operations; time consuming computations are done only a linear number of times. This algorithm can be viewed as a variation of Heller algorithm [Hel90, Mid93] which is popular in the geographic information system community. Unfortunalty Heller algorithm is false as explained in this paper. Key-words: computational geometry, geometric computing, Delaunay triangulation, dynamic algorithms. This work was partially supported by ESPRIT LTR 21957 (CGAL) Suppressions dans la triangulation de Delaunay. Résumé : Cet article montre comment l'espace des sphères et l'e euillage (shelling) peuvent être utilisés pour implémenter e cacement la suppression d'un point dans la triangulation de Delaunay. En dimension 2, si k est le degré du sommet supprimé, la complexité est de O(k log k). On peut remarquer que cette complexité ne s'applique qu'à des opérations assez bon marché, les calculs les plus coûteux n'étant qu'en nombre linéaire. Cet algorithme peut être vu comme une variation d'un algorithme proposé par Heller [Hel90, Mid93] populaire dans le domaine des systèmes d'information géographique. Malheureusement l'algorithme original de Heller est faux. Mots-clés : géométrie algorithmique, calcul géométrique, triangulation de Delaunay, algorithmes dynamiques.

Dynamic Maintenance of Delaunay Triangulations

We describe and analyze the complexity of a procedure for computing and updating a Delaunay triangulation of a set of points in the plane subject to incremental insertions and deletions. Our method is based on a recent algo rithm of Guibas, Knuth, and Sharir for constructing Delaunay triangulations by incremental point insertion only. Our implementation features several meth ods that are not us...

Fully Dynamic Delaunay Triangulation in Logarithmic Expected Time per Operation Triangulation de Delaunay pleinement dynamique en temps moyen logarithmique par op eration

The Delaunay Tree is a hierarchical data structure that has been introduced in [6] and analyzed in [7,4]. For a given set of sites S in the plane and an order of insertion for these sites, the Delaunay Tree stores all the successive Delaunay triangulations. As proved before, the Delaunay Tree allows the insertion of a site in logarithmic expected time and linear expected space, when the inserti...

Preferred directions for resolving the non-uniqueness of Delaunay triangulations

This note proposes a simple rule to determine a unique triangulation among all Delaunay triangulations of a planar point set, based on two preferred directions. We show that the triangulation can be generated by extending Lawson’s edge-swapping algorithm and that point deletion is a local procedure. The rule can be implemented exactly when the points have integer coordinates and can be used to ...

Dynamic Cartography Using Voronoi/delaunay Methods

We describe two reversible line-drawing methods for cartographic applications based on the kinetic (moving-point) Voronoi diagram. Our objectives were to optimize the user’s ability to draw and edit the map, rather than to produce the most efficient batch-oriented algorithm for large data sets, and all our algorithms are based on local operations (except for basic point location). Because the d...

Modifying Delaunay Refined Two-Dimensional Triangular Meshes

We propose algorithms to modify a mesh of a PSLG through out the interactive addition/deletion of elements to/from the PSLG, keeping the quality of the mesh all along the process. Our algorithms achieve quality by deleting, moving or inserting Steiner points.
