Answer 1

Exact Delaunay Triangulation in Go — Diagnosis, Fix, and Verification

Problem class: go-exact-predicate-delaunay-cocircular-degeneracy Environment: go1.26, linux/amd64, 16 CPUs Deliverable: delaunay package — exact integer-coordinate Bowyer–Watson Delaunay triangulation + Voronoi dual + brute-force oracle + degeneracy suite that fails a float64-only predicate build and passes the exact one.


1. Symptoms observed

A naive Delaunay implementation driven by straight float64 orientation/incircle tests:

The exact implementation returns valid triangulations for every degenerate family requested.


2. Root-cause analysis

2.1 Why float64 predicates fail

orient2d(a,b,c) is (b−a) × (c−a), a difference of two products. With coordinates near 2^53, each product can reach 2^106; the exact result may be a tiny integer relative to those products. IEEE-754 has a 53-bit significand, so the products are rounded and the subtraction suffers catastrophic cancellation. The true sign can be lost entirely.

incircle(a,b,c,d) is a degree-4 determinant (products up to ~2^212 for 2^53 inputs). It is even worse: the sign of an integer ±1 can vanish next to terms of size 2^200.

Direct evidence from the run (these are the exact inputs used):

near-cocircular incircle: exact=-1 naive=0
near-cocircular incircle: exact=-1 naive=1
near-collinear orient:   exact=1 naive=0

The first pair is four points on a circle of radius 5·2^50, one shifted by one unit. The exact incircle sign is −1/+1; the float64 sign is 0/+1. The third is a near-collinear triple whose exact cross product is +1 while the float64 computation rounds to 0.

2.2 Why the degeneracies break Bowyer–Watson specifically

Bowyer–Watson inserts a point p by deleting every triangle whose circumcircle contains p (the cavity) and re-fanning the cavity boundary to p.

2.3 The super-triangle trap

The standard Bowyer–Watson bootstrap adds a huge enclosing triangle S and deletes triangles incident to S at the end. Restricted to the real points this is Delaunay only if S lies outside every circumcircle of every real Delaunay triangle. Obtuse hull triangles routinely have circumradii of order 100× the data bounding-box size, so a small padding factor silently drops hull triangles (observed as hull area > triangulated area). The padding must be generous, and the float filter must be disabled when S pushes coordinates beyond 2^53.


3. The fix

The complete, tested project is at ~/delaunay. Files:

go.mod
predicates.go   exact orient2d / incircle: Shewchuk float filter + big.Int fallback, plus naive variants
triangulate.go  Bowyer–Watson: walking location + cavity BFS + free-list triangles + adjacency
oracle.go       brute-force empty-circumcircle / local-Delaunay / flip-pair / exact-area checks
voronoi.go      Voronoi dual (exact rational circumcenters, finite edges + hull rays)
main.go         degeneracy suite + naive-vs-exact comparison + report
core_test.go, big_test.go, delaunay_test.go  regression tests

Key design points:

  1. Adaptive predicates. Compute the determinant in float64 with Shewchuk’s forward error bound; if the sign is not certified, recompute exactly with math/big.Int. This is fast for the common case and exact on every degeneracy.
  2. Exactness guard for large super-vertices. If any input coordinate magnitude > 2^53, float64 conversion itself is inexact, so skip the filter and go straight to big.Int.
  3. Robust point location. Visibility walk with a step cap; exhaustive scan fallback guarantees termination.
  4. Duplicate rejection. map[Point]int before insertion.
  5. Cavity BFS + boundary re-fan. Bad triangles (incircle > 0, i.e. strictly inside) are collected from the containing triangle; boundary edges are re-fanned to the new vertex and adjacency is relinked.
  6. Generous super-triangle padding (~2^20 × bbox, clamped to ±2^62) so hull circumcircles are enclosed.
  7. Exact oracle. Empty-circumcircle against all points, local Delaunay on every edge, exact big.Int shoelace area vs convex-hull area, structural CCW/duplicate checks. Large inputs use a sampled empty-circle sweep plus the full O(E) local edge check.

Answer 2

Exact Delaunay Triangulation in Go — Diagnosis, Fix, and Verification

Problem class: go-exact-predicate-delaunay-cocircular-degeneracy Environment: go1.26, linux/amd64, 16 CPUs Deliverable: delaunay package — exact integer-coordinate Bowyer–Watson Delaunay triangulation + Voronoi dual + brute-force oracle + degeneracy suite that fails a float64-only predicate build and passes the exact one.


1. Symptoms observed

A naive Delaunay implementation driven by straight float64 orientation/incircle tests:

The exact implementation returns valid triangulations for every degenerate family requested.


2. Root-cause analysis

2.1 Why float64 predicates fail

orient2d(a,b,c) is (b−a) × (c−a), a difference of two products. With coordinates near 2^53, each product can reach 2^106; the exact result may be a tiny integer relative to those products. IEEE-754 has a 53-bit significand, so the products are rounded and the subtraction suffers catastrophic cancellation. The true sign can be lost entirely.

incircle(a,b,c,d) is a degree-4 determinant (products up to ~2^212 for 2^53 inputs). It is even worse: the sign of an integer ±1 can vanish next to terms of size 2^200.

Direct evidence from the run (these are the exact inputs used):

near-cocircular incircle: exact=-1 naive=0
near-cocircular incircle: exact=-1 naive=1
near-collinear orient:   exact=1 naive=0

The first pair is four points on a circle of radius 5·2^50, one shifted by one unit. The exact incircle sign is −1/+1; the float64 sign is 0/+1. The third is a near-collinear triple whose exact cross product is +1 while the float64 computation rounds to 0.

2.2 Why the degeneracies break Bowyer–Watson specifically

Bowyer–Watson inserts a point p by deleting every triangle whose circumcircle contains p (the cavity) and re-fanning the cavity boundary to p.

2.3 The super-triangle trap

The standard Bowyer–Watson bootstrap adds a huge enclosing triangle S and deletes triangles incident to S at the end. Restricted to the real points this is Delaunay only if S lies outside every circumcircle of every real Delaunay triangle. Obtuse hull triangles routinely have circumradii of order 100× the data bounding-box size, so a small padding factor silently drops hull triangles (observed as hull area > triangulated area). The padding must be generous, and the float filter must be disabled when S pushes coordinates beyond 2^53.


3. The fix

The complete, tested project is at ~/delaunay. Files:

go.mod
predicates.go   exact orient2d / incircle: Shewchuk float filter + big.Int fallback, plus naive variants
triangulate.go  Bowyer–Watson: walking location + cavity BFS + free-list triangles + adjacency
oracle.go       brute-force empty-circumcircle / local-Delaunay / flip-pair / exact-area checks
voronoi.go      Voronoi dual (exact rational circumcenters, finite edges + hull rays)
main.go         degeneracy suite + naive-vs-exact comparison + report
core_test.go, big_test.go, delaunay_test.go  regression tests

Key design points:

  1. Adaptive predicates. Compute the determinant in float64 with Shewchuk’s forward error bound; if the sign is not certified, recompute exactly with math/big.Int. This is fast for the common case and exact on every degeneracy.
  2. Exactness guard for large super-vertices. If any input coordinate magnitude > 2^53, float64 conversion itself is inexact, so skip the filter and go straight to big.Int.
  3. Robust point location. Visibility walk with a step cap; exhaustive scan fallback guarantees termination.
  4. Duplicate rejection. map[Point]int before insertion.
  5. Cavity BFS + boundary re-fan. Bad triangles (incircle > 0, i.e. strictly inside) are collected from the containing triangle; boundary edges are re-fanned to the new vertex and adjacency is relinked.
  6. Generous super-triangle padding (~2^20 × bbox, clamped to ±2^62) so hull circumcircles are enclosed.
  7. Exact oracle. Empty-circumcircle against all points, local Delaunay on every edge, exact big.Int shoelace area vs convex-hull area, structural CCW/duplicate checks. Large inputs use a sampled empty-circle sweep plus the full O(E) local edge check.
