Voronoi diagrams were introduced by R. Klein (1988) as an axiomatic basis of Voronoi diagrams. We show how to construct abstract Voronoi diagrams in time O(n log n) by a randomized algorithm, which is based on Clarkson and Shor's randomized incremental construction technique (1989). The new algorithm has the following advantages over previous algorithms: It can handle a much wider class of abstract Voronoi diagrams than the algorithms presented in by Klein (1989) and, Mehlhorn, Meiser and O'Dunlaing (1991). It can be adapted to a concrete kind of Voronoi diagram by providing a single basic operation, namely the construction of a Voronoi diagram of five sites. Moreover, all geometric decisions are confined to the basic operation, and using this operation, abstract Voronoi diagrams can be constructed in a purely combinatorial manner.
