We present a fixed-parameter algorithm which computes for a set
P
of
n
points in the plane in
$O(2^{c \sqrt{k} \log k} \cdot k \sqrt{k} n^3)$
time a minimum weight triangulation. The parameter
k
is the number of points in
P
that lie in the interior of the convex hull of
P
and
$c = (2 + \sqrt{2})/(\sqrt{3} -- \sqrt{2}) < 11$
.
