Abstract

Centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVTs) are Voronoi tessellations of a region such that the generating points of the tessellations are also the centroids of the corresponding Voronoi regions with respect to a given probability measure. CVT is a fundamental notion that has a wide spectrum of applications in computational science and engineering. In this paper, an algorithm is given to obtain the CVTs with nn-generators to level mm, for any positive integers mm and nn, of any Cantor set generated by a pair of self-similar mappings given by S1(x)=r1xS_1(x)=r_1x and S2(x)=r2x+(1r2)S_2(x)=r_2x+(1-r_2) for xRx\in \mathbb R, where r1,r2>0r_1, r_2>0 and r1+r2<1r_1+r_2<1, with respect to any probability distribution PP such that P=p1PS11+p2PS21P=p_1 P\circ S_1^{-1}+p_2 P\circ S_2^{-1}, where p1,p2>0p_1, p_2>0 and p1+p2=1p_1+p_2=1.
