A new O(nlog(n)) algorithm is presented for performing Delaunay triangulation of sets of 2D points. The novel component of the algorithm is a radially propagating sweep-hull (sequentially created from the radially sorted set of 2D points, giving a non-overlapping triangulation), paired with a final triangle flipping step to give the Delaunay triangluation. In empirical tests the algorithm runs ...

We use the generalized Weierstrass representation to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that locally arises from an ODE with a regular singularity. We show that if system is a perturbation of that of a Delaunay surface, then the corresponding constant mean curvature surface has a properly immersed end that is asymptotically Delaunay. Furthermore, that end is em...

Given a finite set of points in Rn and a radius parameter, we study the Čech, Delaunay–Čech, Delaunay (or alpha), and Wrap complexes in the light of generalized discrete Morse theory. Establishing the Čech and Delaunay complexes as sublevel sets of generalized discrete Morse functions, we prove that the four complexes are simple-homotopy equivalent by a sequence of simplicial collapses, which a...

We present an automatic algorithm to construct blocking scheme for multiblock structured meshes in 2D multiphase flow problems. Our solution is based on the concepts of medial axis and Delaunay triangulation. We show that the quality of the blocking scheme strongly depends on the quality of Delaunay triangulation. Therefore, well-known techniques and issues like Delaunay refinement and geometri...

Given a finite sampling P ⊂ R of an unknown surface S, surface reconstruction is concerned with the calculation of a model of S from P . The model can be represented as a smooth or a triangulated surface, and is expected to match S from a topological and geometric standpoints. In this survey, we focus on the recent developments of Delaunay based surface reconstruction methods, which were the fi...

We present an algorithmic framework for producing Delaunay triangulations of manifolds. The input to the algorithm is a set of sample points together with coordinate patches indexed by those points. The transition functions between nearby coordinate patches are required to be bi-Lipschitz with a constant close to 1. The primary novelty of the framework is that it can accommodate abstract manifo...

Θk-graphs are geometric graphs that appear in the context of graph navigation. The shortest-path metric of these graphs is known to approximate the Euclidean complete graph up to a factor depending on the cone number k and the dimension of the space. TD-Delaunay graphs, a.k.a. triangular-distance Delaunay triangulations introduced by Chew, have been shown to be plane 2-spanners of the 2D Euclid...

Given a set P of n points in the plane, we show how to compute in O(n logn) time a subgraph of their Delaunay triangulation that has maximum degree 7 and is a strong planar t-spanner of P with t = (1 + √ 2) ∗ δ, where δ is the spanning ratio of the Delaunay triangulation. Furthermore, given a Delaunay triangulation, we show a distributed algorithm that computes the same bounded degree planar sp...
