Abstract(in English) The Delaunay triangulation is one of the typical methods for generation of meshes for the finite-element method. In two dimension the Delaunay triangulation produces the optimal mesh in the sense the angles of all the triangles are lexicographically maximized. In three dimension, however, the Delaunay method is not optimal; Sometimes bad tetrahedra are generated. This paper proposed a method for improving the quality of such tetrahedra. Our method consists of flipping operation, displacement of points and re-tetrahedrization. The quality of the resulting meshes are evaluated by experiments.
