CVT_1D_SAMPLING
Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation in [0,1]


CVT_1D_SAMPLING is a MATLAB program which allows the user to carry out Lloyd's algorithm for a centroidal Voronoi Tessellation in the interval [0,1].

The determination of the Voronoi regions is carried out using sampling. This means that the convergence of the iteration is influenced by the accuracy of the estimates provided by sampling.

For n generators, the solution is known in advance:

x(i) = ( 2 * i - 1 ) / ( 2 * n )
Lloyd's algorithm starts from an arbitrary vector x, however, so it is interesting to see how the approximate solution evolves toward the correct answer.

Usage:

cvt_1d_sampling ( n, it_num, sample_num )
