Title
Multitriangulations as Complexes of Star Polygons
Abstract
Maximal (k+1)-crossing-free graphs on a planar point set in convex position, that is, k-triangulations, have received attention in recent literature, motivated by several interpretations of them. We introduce a new way of looking at k-triangulations, namely as complexes of star polygons. With this tool we give new, direct proofs of the fundamental properties of k-triangulations, as well as some new results. This interpretation also opens up new avenues of research that we briefly explore in the last section.
