Abstract

In this paper, we prove a tight bound for β value (β =√2√3+9/3 ) such that being less than this value, the β-skeleton of a planar point set may not belong to the minimum weight triangulation of this set, while being equal to or greater than this value, the β-skeleton always belongs to the minimum weight triangulation. Thus, we settled the conjecture of the tight bound for β-skeleton of minimum weight triangulation by Mark Keil. We also present a new sufficient condition for identifying a subgraph of minimum weight triangulation of a planar n-point set. The identified subgraph could be different from all the known subgraphs, and the subgraph can be found in O(n2log n) time.
