Computing relative neighbourhood graphs in the plane. (English) Zbl 0602.68089

The paper presents two new algorithms for constructing the relative neighborhood graph (RNG) in two-dimensional Euclidean space. The method is to determine a supergraph for RNG which can be thinned efficiently from the extra edges.
