Abstract

β-skeletons, a prominent member of the neighborhood graph family, have interesting geometric properties and various applications ranging from geographic networks to archeology. This paper focuses on computing the β-spectrum, a labeling of the edges of the Delaunay Triangulation, DT(V), which makes it possible to quickly find the lune-based β-skeleton of V for any query value β∈[1, 2]. We consider planar n point sets V with Lp metric, 1pO(n log2n) time sequential, and a O(log4n) time parallel β-spectrum labeling. We also show a parallel algorithm, which for a given β∈[1,2], finds the lune-based β-skeleton in O(log2n) time. The parallel algorithms use O(n) processors in the CREW-PRAM model.
