Abstract. We consider the complexity of Delaunay triangulations of sets of points in R3 under certain practical geometric constraints. The spread of a set of points is the ratio between the longest and shortest pairwise distances. We show that in the worst case, the Delaunay triangulation of n points in R3 with spread Δ has complexity Ω(min{ Δ3, nΔ, n2 }) and O(min{ Δ4, n2 }). For the case $\Delta = \Theta(\sqrt{n})$ , our lower bound construction consists of a grid-like sample of a right circular cylinder with constant height and radius. We also construct a family of smooth connected surfaces such that the Delaunay triangulation of any good point sample has near-quadratic complexity.
