Abstract

Generating constrained triangulations of point sites distributed in the plane is a significant problem in computational geometry. We present theoretical and experimental investigation results for generating triangulations for polygons and point sites that address node degree constraints. We characterize point sites that have almost all vertices of odd degree. We present experimental results on the node degree distribution of Delaunay triangulations of point sites generated randomly. Additionally, we present a heuristic algorithm for triangulating a given normal annular region with an increment of even degree nodes.
