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."}],"citation":{"chicago":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert, and Nimish Shah. “Incremental Topological Flipping Works for Regular Triangulations.” <i>Algorithmica</i>.
