Abstract

The concept of a zigzag path of a pseudotriangulation is a tool that allows to solve counting and optimization problems for pseudottriangulations in a divide-and-conquer style. We present an algorithm that enumerates all zigzag paths of a given point set with respect to a given line in O(n2) time per path and O(n2) space.
