Cellular structures manifest their outstanding mechanical properties in many biological systems. One key challenge for designing and optimizing these geometrically complicated structures lies in devising an effective geometric…

A Voronoi diagram partitions the plane into convex cells, each containing the points closest to a single generator. Given such a tessellation, the inverse Voronoi problem seeks the generator set \( S \) that produced it. Our algorithm…
