This paper proves that if the points are added one by one, then flipping in a topological order will succeed in constructing this triangulation. If, in addition, the points are added in a random sequence and the history of the flips is used for locating the next point, then the algorithm takes expected time at most O(n log n + n(inverted left perpendicular d/2 inverted right perpendicular)). Under the assumption that the points and weights are independently and identically distributed, the expected running time is between proportional to and a factor log n more than the expected size of the regular triangulation. The expectation is over choosing the points and over independent coin-flips performed by the algorithm."}],"issue":"3","type":"journal_article","oa_version":"None","status":"public","title":"Incremental topological flipping works for regular triangulations","intvolume":" 15","user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","_id":"4026","day":"01","article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"1996-03-01T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","page":"223 - 241","publication":"Algorithmica","citation":{"chicago":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert, and Nimish Shah. “Incremental Topological Flipping Works for Regular Triangulations.” Algorithmica.
