We stress the importance of stochastic geometry as a branch of mathematical statistics particularly suited to model and investigate nontrivial spatial patterns. One of its key concepts, Voronoi tessellations, represents a versatile and…
Voronoi Tessellations form an attractive and versatile geometrical asymptotic model for the foamlike cosmic distribution of matter and galaxies. In the Voronoi model the vertices are identified with clusters of galaxies. For a substantial…
The Voronoi tessellation is a natural way of space segmentation, which has many applications in various fields of science and technology, as well as in social sciences and visual art. The varieties of the Voronoi tessellation methods are…
A review on the properties and dynamical origin and nature of the cosmic foam, the tenuous space-filling frothy network permeating the interior of the Universe. We discuss the properties of this striking and intriguing pattern, describing…
We review the analysis of the Cosmic Web by means of an extensive toolset based on the use of Delaunay and Voronoi tessellations. The Cosmic Web is the salient and pervasive foamlike pattern in which matter has organized itself on scales of…
Voronoi tessellations of scale-invariant fractal sets are characterized by topological and metrical properties that are significantly different from those of natural cellular structures. As an example we analyze Voronoi diagrams of…
The large-scale matter distribution represents a complex network of structure elements such as voids, clusters, filaments, and sheets. This network is spanned by a point distribution. The global properties of the point process can be…
3D Voronoi's tessellation method was first applied to identify groups of galaxies in the structure of a supercluster. The sample under consideration consists of more than 7000 galaxies of the Local Supercluster (LS) with radial velocities…
The Voronoi tessellation is the partition of space for a given seeds pattern and the result of the partition depends completely on the type of given pattern "random", Poisson-Voronoi tessellations (PVT), or "non-random", Non Poisson-Voronoi…
Many physical systems can be studied as collections of particles embedded in space, evolving through deterministic evolution equations. Natural questions arise concerning how to characterize these arrangements - are they ordered or…
We introduce a multiscale topological description of the Megaparsec weblike cosmic matter distribution. Betti numbers and topological persistence offer a powerful means of describing the rich connectivity structure of the cosmic web and of…
The lecture notes describe the Delaunay Tessellation Field Estimator for Cosmic Web analysis. The high sensitivity of Voronoi/Delaunay tessellations to the local point distribution is used to obtain estimates of density and related…
Voronoi tessellations have been used to model the geometric arrangement of cells in morphogenetic or cancerous tissues, however so far only with flat hypersurfaces as cell-cell contact borders. In order to reproduce the experimentally…
Many methods for modelling spatial processes assume global smoothness properties; such assumptions are often violated in practice. We introduce a method for modelling spatial processes that display heterogeneity or contain discontinuities.…
We present an objective and automated procedure for detecting clusters of galaxies in imaging galaxy surveys. Our Voronoi Galaxy Cluster Finder (VGCF) uses galaxy positions and magnitudes to find clusters and determine their main features:…
We discuss the intimate relationship between the filamentary features and the rare dense compact cluster nodes in this network, via the large scale tidal field going along with them, following the cosmic web theory developed Bond et al. The…
We investigate the application of volume statistics to probe the distribution of underdense regions in the large-scale structure of the Universe. This statistic measures the distortion of Eulerian volume elements relative to Lagrangian ones…
Real complex networks are often characterized by spatial constraints such as the relative position and adjacency of nodes. The present work describes how Voronoi tessellations of the space where the network is embedded provide not only a…
We consider the Voronoi tessellation based on a homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbf{R}^{d}$. For a geometric characteristic of the cells (e.g. the inradius, the circumradius, the volume), we investigate the point process of the…
Recent work on distinct multicellular organisms has revealed a hitherto unknown type of biological noise; rather than a regular arrangement, cellular neighborhood volumes, obtained by Voronoi tessellations of the cell locations, are broadly…
