Abstract :
Until recently, no algorithm existed for computing the relative neighbourhood graph of n points on the plane in less than O(n2) worst-case time. Urquhart recently presented an O(n log n) algorithm for solving this problem. In this letter, it is shown that Urquhart´s algorithm does not always work and hence finding an O(n log n) algorithm remains an open problem.
