Abstract: This paper settles the following two longstanding open problems: 1. What is the worst-case approximation ratio between the greedy and the minimum weight triangulation ? 2. Is there a polynomial time algorithm that always produces a triangulation whose length is within a constant factor from the minimum? The answer to the first question is that the known \Omega\Gamma p n) lower bound is tight. The second question is answered in the affirmative by using a slight modification of an O(n log n) ...
