abstract
This work is the first to validate theoretically the suspicions of many researchers — that the “average” Voronoi diagram is combinatorially quite simple and can be constructed quickly. Specifically, assuming that dimension d is fixed, and that n input points are chosen independently from the uniform distribution on the unit d-ball, it is proved that

1986 A Simple Divide-and-Conquer Algorithm for Computing Delaunay Triangulations in O(n log log n) Expected Time
abstract
We present a modification to the divide-and-conquer algorithm of Guibas & Stolfi [GS] for computing the Delaunay triangulation of n sites in the plane. The change reduces its T(n log n) expected running time to O(n log n) for a large class of distributions which includes the uniform distribution in the unit square. The modified algorithm is significantly easier to implement than the optimal linear-expected-time algorithm of Bentley, Weide & Yao [BWY]. Unlike the incremental methods of Ohya, Iri & Murota [OIM] and Maus [M] it has optimal O(n log log n) worst-case performance. The improvement extends to the composition of the Delaunay triangulation in the Lp metric for 1
