摘要

In this paper, we prove that a triangulated polygon G admits a greedy embedding into an appropriate semi-metric space such that using an appropriate distance definition, for any two vertices u and w in G, a most virtual distance decreasing path is always a minimum-edge path between u and w. Therefore, our greedy routing algorithm is optimal. The greedy embedding of G can be obtained in linear time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first optimal greedy routing algorithm for a nontrivial subcategory of graphs.
