Abstract

We state the following conjecture: any two planar n-point sets (that agree on the number of convex hull points) can be triangulated in a compatible manner, i.e., such that the resulting two planar graphs are isomorphic. The conjecture is proved true for point sets with at most three interior points. We further exhibit a class of point sets which can be triangulated compatibly with any other set (that satisfies the obvious size and hull restrictions). Finally, we prove that adding a small number of Steiner points (the number of interior points minus two) always allows for compatible triangulations.
