A triangulation of a point set Pn is a partitioning of the convex hull Conv (Pn) into a set of triangles with disjoint interiors such that the vertices of these triangles are in Pn, and no element of Pn lies in the interior of any of these triangles. An edge e of a triangulation T is called flippable if it is contained in the boundary of two triangles of T , and the union of these triangles for...
