Abstract
It is shown that a triangulation of a set of n points in the plane that minimizes the maximum edge length can be computed in time O(n/sup 2/). The algorithm is reasonably easy to implement and is based on the theorem that there is a triangulation with minmax edge length that contains the relative neighborhood graph of the points as a subgraph. With minor modifications the algorithm works for arbitrary normed metrics.<>
