LCVTP
Latinized CVT Datasets
on a Logical Torus


LCVTP is a dataset directory which contains examples of LCVTP's, that is, Latinized Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations over a periodic domain.

The datasets were created in a two step process. First, the program CVTP_DATASET was used to set up a CVTP dataset on a logical torus. Then the program LATINIZE was used to "latinize" the dataset.

The datasets created on the first step contain N points in M-dimensions, with the points having the property that they are (approximately) the centroids of the Voronoi regions that they generate, in the logical torus geometry. On the second step, the points in the dataset are modified (slightly, one hopes) so that they have the Latin square property.
