Abstract

Given an ordered sequence of points P = {p₁, p₂, … , p_n}, we are interested in computing T, the set of distinct triangles occurring over all Delaunay triangulations of contiguous subsequences within P. We present a deterministic algorithm for this purpose with near-optimal time complexity O(|T|log n). Additionally, we prove that for an arbitrary point set in random order, the expected number of Delaunay triangles occurring over all contiguous subsequences is Θ(nlog n).
