Abstract

An s-workspace algorithm is an algorithm that has read-only access to the values of the input, write-only access to the output, and only uses O(s) additional words of space. We give a randomized s-workspace algorithm for triangulating a simple polygon P of n vertices, for any s ∈ O(n). The algorithm runs in O(n2/s + n(log s) log5 (n/s)) expected time using O(s) variables, for any s ∈ O(n). In particular, when s ∈ O(n/log n log5 log n) algorithm runs in O(n2/s) expected time.
