An Improved Lower Bound on the Number of Triangulations
Upper and lower bounds for the number of geometric graphs of specific types on a given set of points in the plane have been intensively studied in recent years. For most classes of geometric graphs it is now known that point sets in convex position minimize their number. However, it is still unclear which point sets minimize the number of geometric triangulations; the so-called double circles a...
متن کاملCompatible triangulations and point partitions by series-triangular graphs
We introduce series-triangular graph embeddings and show how to partition point sets with them. This result is then used to prove an upper bound on the number of Steiner points needed to obtain compatible triangulations of point sets. The problem is generalized to finding compatible triangulations for more than two point sets and we show that such triangulations can be constructed with only a l...

We study the maximal number of triangulations that a planar set of n points can have, and show that it is at most 30n. This new bound is achieved by a careful optimization of the charging scheme of Sharir and Welzl (2006), which has led to previous best upper bound of 43n for the problem. Moreover, this new bound is useful for bounding the number of other types of planar (i.e., crossing free) s...
