Abstract
We show that for any set &Pgr; of n points in three-dimensional space there is a set Q of &Ogr;(n1/2 log3 n) points so that the Delaunay triangulation of &Pgr; ∪ Q has at most &Ogr;(n3/2 log3 n) edges — even though the Delaunay triangulation of &Pgr; may have &OHgr;(n2) edges. The main tool of our construction is the following geometric covering result: For any set &Pgr; of n points in three-dimensional space and any set S of m spheres, where each sphere passes through a distinct point pair in &Pgr;, there exists a point x, not necessarily in &Pgr;, that is enclosed by &OHgr;(m2/n2 log3n2/m) of the spheres in S.
par>Our results generalize to arbitrary fixed dimensions, to geometric bodies other than spheres, and to geometric structures other than Delaunay triangulations.
