Abstract
A triangulation of a planar set S is a maximal plane straight-line graph with the vertex set S. In the Minimum Weight Triangulation (MWT) problem, we want to draw a triangulation of a given point set that minimizes the sum of the edges length. Recently, Mulzer and Rote have proved that this problem is NP-Hard [10]. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm using Ant Colony Optimization to solve this problem.
