Abstract

We study the maximum numbers of pseudo-triangulations and pointed pseudo-triangulations that can be embedded over a specific set of points in the plane or contained in a specific triangulation. We derive the bounds O(5.45^N) and @W(2.41^N) for the maximum number of pointed pseudo-triangulations that can be contained in a specific triangulation over a set of N points. For the number of all pseudo-triangulations contained in a triangulation we derive the bounds O^@?(6.54^N) and @W(3.30^N). We also prove that O^@?(89.1^N) pointed pseudo-triangulations can be embedded over any specific set of N points in the plane, and at most 120^N general pseudo-triangulations.
