Broken link replaced by CRC link.
Apr 5, 2013 at 5:12 comment added Adel Ahmadyan I'm afraid it is as bad as Allessandro fears. The main problem is the number of the hyperplanes that these algorithm generates. For a very simple example, I used qhull for 40 points in 15-d and the voronoi decomposition has more than 5 million hyperplanes Voronoi diagram by the convex hull of 40 points in 16-d: Number of Voronoi regions: 40 Number of Voronoi vertices: 1361237 Statistics for: rbox 40 s D15 | qvoronoi s p TO test Number of points processed: 40 Number of hyperplanes created: 5539466 Number of facets in hull: 2774645 Number of distance tests for qhull: 4729150

Another typo.
Dec 15, 2010 at 14:10 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @Alessandro: It may not be as bad as you fear. See, e.g., "Higher-dimensional Voronoi diagrams in linear expected time," by Rex Dwyer, and track papers that cite this into the future. portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=73869
Dec 15, 2010 at 14:05 comment added Alessandro Thank you very much for your answer! I read some more about the topic and indeed it seems quite complex. Furthermore, the run-time complexity of the algorithms is probably too high for my needs -I would like not to go over the n^2 worst case complexity. Do you know of any fast approximate algorithms that can help me?
