text: We present a simple algorithm for computing higher-order Delaunay mosaics
that works in Euclidean spaces of any finite dimensions. The algorithm selects
the vertices of the order-k mosaic from incrementally constructed lower-order
mosaics and uses an algorithm for weighted first-order Delaunay mosaics as a black-box
to construct the order-k mosaic from its vertices. Beyond this black-box, the
algorithm uses only combinatorial operations, thus facilitating easy implementation.
We extend this algorithm to compute higher-order α-shapes and provide open-source
implementations. We present experimental results for properties of higher-order
Delaunay mosaics of random point sets.
