Abstract

The paper surveys a method, called the "topology-oriented method", for designing numerically robust geometric algorithms. In this method, higher priority is placed on the consistency of the topological structures of geometric objects than on numerical values. The resulting software is completely robust in the sense that inconsistency never arizes no matter how large numerical errors take place. The basic idea of this method and typical examples are shown.
