Voronoi tessellation
Voronoi tessellation is a way to divide a space into regions based on proximity to a set of specific points called "sites." Each region contains all points closer to its associated site than to any other. Imagine placing multiple landmarks on a map; the Voronoi diagram partitions the area so that each location belongs to the nearest landmark. This method is useful for understanding spatial relationships and optimizing coverage, such as in cell phone networks, urban planning, or resource allocation. It creates a natural and efficient way to analyze how space can be divided based on distance.
