Background

Delaunay triangulations correspond to inscribed simplicial polytopes via stereographic projection and are ER-complete in general settings.

The survey explicitly identifies the constant-dimension case (d ≥ 3) as an open problem.

References

The complexity of the problem in constant dimension $d\geq 3$ is open.
