Why brute-force Voronoi diagram computation takes $O(n^3)$

316 Views Asked by At

Professor told us that brute-force construction of Voronoi diagram takes $O(n^3)$. I do not understand why not $O(n^2)$. For any given point we need to find a bisector with every other point in a set.

I draw a picture with bistros between star and all other points. And we need to do it for every point... so it results in $O(n^2)$. Tho I do not understand how we compute the actual diagram after this computation. Because it looks like too much mess. enter image description here

I cannot find the reasoning behind $O(n^3)$ complexity.

Thank you!
