Voronoi and void statistics for superhomogeneous point processes.

چکیده
We study the Voronoi and void statistics of superhomogeneous (or hyperuniform) point patterns in which the infinite-wavelength density fluctuations vanish. Superhomogeneous or hyperuniform point patterns arise in one-component plasmas, primordial density fluctuations in the Universe, and jammed hard-particle packings. We specifically analyze a certain one-dimensional model by studying size fluctuations and correlations of the associated Voronoi cells. We derive exact results for the complete joint statistics of the size of two Voronoi cells. We also provide a sum rule that the correlation matrix for the Voronoi cells must obey in any space dimension. In contrast to the conventional picture of superhomogeneous systems, we show that infinitely large Voronoi cells or voids can exist in superhomogeneous point processes in any dimension. We also present two heuristic conditions to identify and classify any superhomogeneous point process in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the void size distribution.

Contact and Chord Length Distribution of a Stationary Voronoi Tessellation
We give formulae for diierent types of contact distribution functions for stationary (not necessarily Poisson) Voronoi tessellations in R d in terms of the Palm void probabilities of the generating point process. Moreover, using the well-known relationship between the linear contact distribution and the chord length distribution we derive a closed form expression for the mean chord length in te...
متن کاملZipf’s law for fractal voids and a new void-finder
Voids are a prominent feature of fractal point distributions but there is no precise definition of what is a void (except in one dimension). Here we propose a definition of voids that uses methods of discrete stochastic geometry, in particular, Delaunay and Voronoi tessellations, and we construct a new algorithm to search for voids in a point set. We find and rank-order the voids of suitable ex...
متن کاملTilings of space and superhomogeneous point processes.
We consider the construction of point processes from tilings, with equal-volume tiles, of d -dimensional Euclidean space R;{d} . We show that one can generate, with simple algorithms ascribing one or more points to each tile, point processes which are "superhomogeneous" (or "hyperuniform")-i.e., for which the structure factor S(k) vanishes when the wave vector k tends to zero. The exponent gamm...
متن کاملA Geometrical Model for the Catalogs of Galaxies
The 3D network originated by the faces of irregular Poissonian Voronoi polyhedra may represent the backbone on which the galaxies are originated. As a consequence the spatial appearance of the catalogs of galaxies can be reproduced. The selected catalogs to simulate are the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and the Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies. In order to explain the number of observed ...
متن کاملBayesian analysis of spatial point processes in the neighbourhood of Voronoi networks
A model for an inhomogeneous Poisson process with high intensity near the edges of a Voronoi tessellation in 2D or 3D is proposed. The model is analysed in a Bayesian setting with priors on nuclei of the Voronoi tessellation and other model parameters. An MCMC algorithm is constructed to sample from the posterior, which contains information about the unobserved Voronoi tessellation and the mode...
