Beating the spread

We present NetMesh, a new algorithm that produces a conforming Delaunay mesh for point sets in any fixed dimension with guaranteed optimal mesh size and quality. Our comparison-based algorithm runs in O(n log n + m) time, where n is the input size and m is the output size, and with constants depending only on the dimension and the desired element quality. It can terminate early in O(n log n) time returning a O(n) size Voronoi diagram of a superset of P, which again matches the known lower bounds.
