For a given set of points $U$ on a sphere $S$, the order $k$ spherical Voronoi diagram $SV_k(U)$ decomposes the surface of $S$ into regions whose points have the same $k$ nearest points of $U$. Hyeon-Suk Na, Chung-Nim Lee, and Otfried…

Surprisingly, the order-$k$ Voronoi diagram of line segments had received no attention in the computational-geometry literature. It illustrates properties surprisingly different from its counterpart for points; for example, a single…

Given a set $S$ of $n$ colored sites, each $s\in S$ associated with a distance-to-site function $\delta_s \colon \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$, we consider two distance-to-color functions for each color: one takes the minimum of $\delta_s$…

The classic Voronoi cells can be generalized to a higher-order version by considering the cells of points for which a given $k$-element subset of the set of sites consists of the $k$ closest sites. We study the structure of the $k$-order…

The round-trip distance function on a geographic network (such as a road network, flight network, or utility distribution grid) defines the "distance" from a single vertex to a pair of vertices as the minimum length tour visiting all three…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The order-$k$ Voronoi diagram of $S$, $V_k(S)$, is a subdivision of $\mathbb{R}^d$ into cells whose points have the same $k$ nearest points of $S$. Sibson, in his seminal…

The Voronoi diagram is a geometric object which is widely used in many areas. Recently it has been shown that under mild conditions Voronoi diagrams have a certain continuity property: small perturbations of the sites yield small…

In order to have a compact visualization of the order type of a given point set S, we are interested in geometric graphs on S with few edges that unambiguously display the order type of S. We introduce the concept of exit edges, which…

Voronoi tessellations are used to partition the Euclidean space into polyhedral regions, which are called Voronoi cells. Labeling the Voronoi cells with the class information, we can map any classification problem into a Voronoi…

We present the first optimal randomized algorithm for constructing the order-$k$ Voronoi diagram of $n$ points in two dimensions. The expected running time is $O(n\log n + nk)$, which improves the previous, two-decades-old result of Ramos…

We address the problem of replicating a Voronoi diagram $V(S)$ of a planar point set $S$ by making proximity queries, which are of three possible (in decreasing order of information content): 1. the exact location of the nearest site(s) in…

Let $P$ be a planar set of $n$ sites in general position. For $k\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}$, the Voronoi diagram of order $k$ for $P$ is obtained by subdividing the plane into cells such that points in the same cell have the same set of nearest $k$…

Cells of Voronoi diagrams in two dimensions are usually considered as having edges of zero width. However, this is not the case in several experimental situations in which the thickness of the edges of the cells is relatively large. In this…

We investigate higher-order Voronoi diagrams in the city metric. This metric is induced by quickest paths in the L1 metric in the presence of an accelerating transportation network of axis-parallel line segments. For the structural…

In this thesis we study sets of points in the plane and their Voronoi diagrams, in particular when the points coincide. We bring together two ways of studying point sets that have received a lot of attention in recent years: Voronoi…

The $k$-coverage problem is to find the minimum number of disks such that each point in a given plane is covered by at least $k$ disks. Under unit disk condition, when $k$=1, this problem has been solved by Kershner in 1939. However, when…

We study algorithms and combinatorial complexity bounds for \emph{stable-matching Voronoi diagrams}, where a set, $S$, of $n$ point sites in the plane determines a stable matching between the points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and the sites in $S$…

We use Lie sphere geometry to describe two large categories of generalized Voronoi diagrams that can be encoded in terms of the Lie quadric, the Lie inner product, and polyhedra. The first class consists of diagrams defined in terms of…

We point out that interesting features in high energy physics data can be determined from properties of Voronoi tessellations of the relevant phase space. For illustration, we focus on the detection of kinematic "edges" in two dimensions,…

For a positive integer $k$ and an ordered set of $n$ points in the plane, define its k-sector ordered Yao graphs as follows. Divide the plane around each point into $k$ equal sectors and draw an edge from each point to its closest…
