Lowerbound for the minimum distance between points in a "nice" triangulation Suppose we have a unit square $S$ that contains $n$ points. Assume we always have a point at each of the four corners. No we triangulate $S$ by adding non-intersecting segments between the points. That is, every face is a triangle.

Suppose that the resulting triangulation has the property that the smallest angle is greater than some constant $\phi$.

Given this, can we compute a lowerbound $f(n)$ on the minimum distance between the points?
The short answer is: no, there is no such lower bound.

Let $p$ be a positive integer.
Let $\epsilon = \frac{1}{p}$.

Put points at coordinates $(i \epsilon, j \epsilon)$ for $i,j \in \{ 0 \dots p \}$, and at coordinates $(i \epsilon + \frac{\epsilon}{2}, j \epsilon + \frac{\epsilon}{2})$ for $i,j \in \{ 1 \dots p \}$.
You end up with $n = (p+1)^2 + p^2$ points, and a triangulation in which all triangles are both right and isosceles. So all angles are either $\frac{\pi}{2}$ or $\frac{\pi}{4}$, and the minimal distance between two points is $\frac{\epsilon}{\sqrt{2}}$.
