Abstract: Let P be a set of n points in mathrmR2, and let mathrmDT(P) denote its Euclidean Delaunay triangulation. We introduce the notion of an edge of mathrmDT(P) being {it stable}. Defined in terms of a parameter alpha>0, a Delaunay edge pq is called alpha-stable, if the (equal) angles at which p and q see the corresponding Voronoi edge epq are at least alpha. A subgraph G of mathrmDT(P) is called {it (calpha,alpha)-stable Delaunay graph} (mathrmSDG in short), for some constant cge1, if every edge in G is alpha-stable and every calpha-stable of mathrmDT(P) is in G. We show that if an edge is stable in the Euclidean Delaunay triangulation of P, then it is also a stable edge, though for a different value of alpha, in the Delaunay triangulation of P under any convex distance function that is sufficiently close to the Euclidean norm, and vice-versa. In particular, a 6alpha-stable edge in mathrmDT(P) is alpha-stable in the Delaunay triangulation under the distance function induced by a regular k-gon for kge2pi/alpha, and vice-versa. Exploiting this relationship and the analysis in~cite{polydel}, we present a linear-size kinetic data structure (KDS) for maintaining an (8alpha,alpha)-mathrmSDG as the points of P move. If the points move along algebraic trajectories of bounded degree, the KDS processes nearly quadratic events during the motion, each of which can processed in O(logn) time. Finally, we show that a number of useful properties of mathrmDT(P) are retained by mathrmSDG of P.
