Mathematics and technologyEdit
Graph theoryEdit
- Plane triangulation, and a maximal planar supergraph of a graph G may be called a triangulation of G
- Triangulated graph, and a chordal completion of a graph G may be called a triangulation of G
Spatial subdivisionsEdit
- Triangulation (geometry), division of the Euclidean plane into triangles and of Euclidean spaces into simplices
- Triangulation (topology), generalizations to topological spaces other than Rd
- Point-set triangulation, division of the convex hull of a point set into triangles using only that set as triangle vertices
- Polygon triangulation, division of a polygon into triangles
- Surface triangulation, division of a surface into triangles
Other uses in mathematics and technologyEdit
