CVTP
CVT Datasets on a Logical Torus


CVTP is a dataset directory which contains examples of CVTP's, that is, Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations defined on a periodic domain, usually a rectangle or hyperrectangle.

Each dataset contains N points in M-dimensions, with the points having the property that they are (approximately) the centroids of the Voronoi regions that they generate within one cell of a periodically repeating region.

Datasets:

There is a family of datasets in M = 2 dimensions. At least for the lower values of N, it is useful to look at plots of this data.

There is a family of datasets in M = 7 dimensions.

There is a family of datasets in M = 16 dimensions.
