Sorting £ Triangulation
Claim: Sorting £ Triangulation
Proof:
Convert the initial numbers
into points on the x-axis
Add a new point at (0,-1)
Form the triangulation of
these points
Find the leftmost point on the
x-axis
We can report the numbers
in order by traversing the
triangulation graph
Conclusion: Triangulation
requires W(n log n) time
