Title
Quasi-worlds and quasi-operators on quasi-triangulations
Abstract
Quasi-triangulation is the dual structure of the Voronoi diagram of spheres, and it has been used as a convenient and powerful geometric construct for representing the proximity among spherical particles with different radii. In this paper, we present the formalism of the quasi-triangulation based on a quasi-world model and define primitive query operators called quasi-operators for correct and efficient topology traversal on the quasi-triangulation. Algorithms for the quasi-operators are also presented based on the extended inter-world data structure. The proposed quasi-operators have the potential to be a fundamental platform on which efficient algorithms for application problems on quasi-triangulation can be correctly and easily developed. The recently announced powerful constructs of the @b-complex and the @b-shape are such examples.
