Title:

Classification of Voronoi Nets

Abstract:

Voronoi diagrams are a used in many fields such as numerical analysis, geometric modeling, and geographic information systems.  Give a set of n points S in two-space, the Voronoi Diagram subdivides the plane into n cells, one for each pi in S such that a point q lies in the cell corresponding to a site pi if and only if dist(pi,q)<dist(pj,q)  for all other pj in S.  This talk will present an algorithmic solution to the inverse problem:

Given a "partition" of the plane, is this "partition" the net of a Voronoi diagram?
