A Delaunay graph built on a planar point set has an edge between two vertices when there exists a disk with the two vertices on its boundary and no vertices in its interior. When the disk is replaced with an equilateral triangle, the…
Motivated by recent work on Delaunay triangulations of hyperbolic surfaces, we consider the minimal number of vertices of such triangulations. First, we will show that every hyperbolic surface of genus $g$ has a simplicial Delaunay…

In this short paper, we consider the functional density on sets of uniformly bounded triangulations with fixed sets of vertices. We prove that if a functional attains its minimum on the Delaunay triangulation, for every finite set in the…
A main result in this paper is the proof that proximal Delaunay triangulation regions are convex polygons. In addition, it is proved that every Delaunay triangulation region has a local Leader uniform topology.
In this paper we derive new second-order optimality conditions for a very general set-constrained optimization problem where the underlying set may be nononvex. We consider local optimality in specific directions (i.e., optimal in a…
There are very few mathematical results governing the interpolation of functions or their gradients on Delaunay meshes in more than two dimensions. Unfortunately, the standard techniques for proving optimal interpolation properties are…
Consider the Delaunay triangulation T of a set P of points in the plane as a Euclidean graph, in which the weight of every edge is its length. It has long been conjectured that the dilation in T of any pair p, p \in P, which is the ratio of…
Disordered materials occur naturally and also provide a broader design space than ordered or crystalline structures. We investigate a two-dimensional disordered network metamaterial constructed from a Delaunay triangulation of an underlying…
We present a self-contained short proof of the seminal result of Dillencourt (SoCG 1987 and DCG 1990) that Delaunay triangulations, of planar point sets in general position, are 1-tough. An important implication of this result is that…
Consider a weighted graph G where vertices are points in the plane and edges are line segments. The weight of each edge is the Euclidean distance between its two endpoints. A routing algorithm on G has a competitive ratio of c if the length…
We initiate a statistical study of Kalai's exterior algebraic shifting, focusing on concentration phenomena for random triangulations of a fixed space. First, for a uniform $n$-vertex refinement of any given graph $G$, we show that…
We generalize the classic definition of Delaunay triangulation and prove that for a locally finite and coarsely dense generic point set, $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, the $d$-simplices whose vertices belong to $A$ and whose circumscribed…
We consider in this work triangulations of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ that are periodic along $\mathbb{Z}^n$. They generalize the triangulations obtained from Delaunay tessellations of lattices. Other important property is the regularity and…
In this paper a new connection between the discrete conformal geometry problem of disk pattern construction and the continuous conformal geometry problem of metric uniformization is presented. In a nutshell, we discuss how to construct disk…
In this paper, we analyze the complexity of natural parallelizations of Delaunay refinement methods for mesh generation. The parallelizations employ a simple strategy: at each iteration, they choose a set of ``independent'' points to insert…
We compute the convex hull in $\mathbb{C}^2$ of an arbitrary finite subgroup of ${\mathbb{C}^*}^2$. The combinatorics are dictated by continued fractions in a natural way. This reproves a theorem of Smilansky, with a slightly stronger…
It is important that a spatial network's construction algorithm reproduces the structural properties of the original physical embedding. Here, we assess the Delaunay triangulation as a spatial network construction algorithm for seven…
This article presents the formal proof of correctness for a plane Delaunay triangulation algorithm. It consists in repeating a sequence of edge flippings from an initial triangulation until the Delaunay property is achieved. To describe…
We introduce the Voronoi functional of a triangulation of a finite set of points in the Euclidean plane and prove that among all geometric triangulations of the point set, the Delaunay triangulation maximizes the functional. This result…
