Abstract

A β\beta-skeleton, β1\beta \geq 1, is a planar proximity undirected graph of an Euclidean points set, where nodes are connected by an edge if their lune-based neighbourhood contains no other points of the given set. Parameter β\beta determines the size and shape of the lune-based neighbourhood. A β\beta-skeleton of a random planar set is usually a disconnected graph for β>2\beta>2. With the increase of β\beta, the number of edges in the β\beta-skeleton of a random graph decreases. We show how to grow stable β\beta-skeletons, which are connected for any given value of β\beta and characterise morphological transformations of the skeletons governed by β\beta and a degree of approximation. We speculate how the results obtained can be applied in biology and chemistry.
