Explore how randomness shapes geometry and learn how central limit theorems explain it.
This book (or edition) presents central limit theorems for three geometric problems built on random points: the nearest neighbor graph, the Voronoi diagram, and the Delaunay triangulation. It uses a Poisson model to make the analysis tractable and shows how local dependence leads to universal normal behavior as the number of points grows. The authors compare previous, heavier methods with a simple geometric approach that works well across these problems and highlights connections to algorithm design.
- See how a geometrical framework yields CLTs via local dependence and dependency graphs.
- Understand why Voronoi and Delaunay structures relate to the nearest-neighbor graph and what that implies for computation.
- Learn about the Poisson model, key limits, and how constants can be computed explicitly.
- Discover practical implications for sequential and parallel algorithms on randomly distributed points.
Ideal for readers of probabilistic geometry and computational geometry, those curious about how randomness governs spatial structures and what this means for real-world algorithms.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a significant development in geometrical probability, proving central limit theorems for three fundamental constructions in computational geometry: the k-nearest graph, the Voronoi diagram, and the Delaunay triangulation. Within this field, the author provides a novel approach using dependency graphs to capture local dependence in these problems. The book establishes that, given a Poisson point process with parameter n, the lengths of these graphs satisfy central limit theorems as n approaches infinity. These results provide a theoretical framework for understanding the asymptotic behavior of these graphs and have implications for designing more efficient algorithms for solving related problems. Additionally, the author explores the relationship between these central limit theorems and efficient algorithms for these problems, demonstrating the potential for faster sequential and parallel algorithms. Overall, this book offers a valuable contribution to geometrical probability and computational geometry, providing new insights into the asymptotic behavior of important combinatorial structures and paving the way for advancements in algorithmic design.
