The spatial cosmic matter distribution on scales of a few up to more than a hundred Megaparsec displays a salient and pervasive foamlike pattern. Voronoi tessellations are a versatile and flexible mathematical model for such weblike spatial…
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 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 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…
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…
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…
Poisson Voronoi diagrams are useful for modeling and describing various natural patterns and for generating random lattices. Although this particular space tessellation is intensively studied by mathematicians, in two- and three dimensional…
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…
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…
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…
Poisson point processes provide a versatile framework for modeling the distributions of random points in space. When the space is partitioned into cells, each associated with a single generating point from the Poisson process, there appears…
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…
The intersections between a spherical shell and the faces of Voronoi's polyhedrons are numerically evaluated. The nodes of these intersections are the points that share the same distances from three nuclei. The nodes are assumed to be the…
This paper introduces nucleus clustering in Voronoi tessellations of plane surfaces with applications in the geometry of digital images. A \emph{nucleus cluster} is a collection of Voronoi regions that are adjacent to a Voronoi region…
In this paper we investigate relationships between the volumes of cells of three-dimensional Voronoi tessellations and the lengths and areas of sections obtained by intersecting the tessellation with a randomly oriented plane. Here, in…
Under the assumption of a void-filled Universe we investigate if the characteristic scale of voids can be determined from existing surveys. We use the Voronoi tessellation to create mock surveys and study the properties of the first…
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…
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…
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 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:…
