Abstract
The kth-order Voronoi diagram of a finite set of sites in the Euclidean plane E2 subdivides E2 into maximal regions such that all points within a given region have the same k nearest sites. Two versions of an algorithm are developed for constructing the kth-order Voronoi diagram of a set of n sites in O(n2 log n + k(n - k) log2 n) time, O(k(n - k)) storage, and in O(n2 + k(n - k) log2 n) time, O(n2) storage, respectively.

Voronoi diagrams—a survey of a fundamental geometric data structure

TL;DR: The Voronoi diagram as discussed by the authors divides the plane according to the nearest-neighbor points in the plane, and then divides the vertices of the plane into vertices, where vertices correspond to vertices in a plane.

New applications of random sampling in computational geometry

TL;DR: This paper gives several new demonstrations of the usefulness of random sampling techniques in computational geometry by creating a search structure for arrangements of hyperplanes by sampling the hyperplanes and using information from the resulting arrangement to divide and conquer.

Iterated nearest neighbors and finding minimal polytypes

TL;DR: A new method for finding several types of optimalk-point sets, minimizing perimeter, diameter, circumradius, and related measures, by testing sets of theO(k) nearest neighbors to each point, which is better in a number of ways than previous algorithms, which were based on high-order Voronoi diagrams.

Voronoi Diagrams of Moving Points in the Plane

TL;DR: This paper presents a method of maintaining the Voronoi diagram over time, while showing that the number of topological events has a nearly cubic upper bound of O(n2λs(n), where λs,(n) is the maximum length of an (n, s)-Davenport-Schinzel sequence and s is a constant depending on the motions of the point sites.

Closest-point problems

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a single geometric structure, called the Voronoi diagram, which can be constructed rapidly and contains all of the relevant proximity information in only linear space, and is used to obtain O(N log N) algorithms for most of the problems considered.
