Abstract

Randomized incremental constructions are widely used in computational geometry, but they perform very badly on large data because of their inherently random memory access patterns. We define a biased randomized insertion order which removes enough randomness to significantly improve performance, but leaves enough randomness so that the algorithms remain theoretically optimal.

We also give a precise definition and analysis of "realistic" problem instances which are typical of data arising in practice and do not exhibit the theoretical worst-case behavior.
