	Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His family hailed from the town of Richelet in Belgium, from which his surname "Lejeune Dirichlet" ("le jeune de Richelet" = "the young chap from Richelet") was derived, and that was where his grandfather lived.
		Dirichlet was born in Düren, where his father was the postmaster.
		He married Rebecka Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who came from a distinguished family of converts from Judaism to Christianity; she was a granddaughter of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, daughter of Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy and a sister of the composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

	Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram, named after Georgy Voronoi, also called a Voronoi tessellation, a Voronoi decomposition, or a Dirichlet tessellation (after Lejeune Dirichlet), is special kind of decomposition of a metric space determined by distances to a specified discrete set of objects in the space, e.g., by a discrete set of points.
		A 2D lattice gives an irregular honeycomb tessellation, with equal hexagons with point symmetry; in the case of a regular triangular lattice it is regular; in the case of a rectangular lattice the hexagons reduce to rectangles in rows and columns; a square lattice gives the regular tessellation of squares.
		However in these cases the Voronoi tessellation is not guaranteed to exist (or to be a "true" tessellation), since the equidistant locus for two points may fail to be subspace of codimension 1, even in the 2-dimensional case.

	Dirichlet tessellation of bark beetle spatial attack points
		This tessellation was proposed in 1850 by Dirichlet (Upton and Fingleton 1985) and a formal mathematical definition is given by Green and Sibson (1978).
		Dirichlet tessellations can be thought of as representing the areas of territorial animals, allelochemic-producing plants, or the packing of cells in a tissue.
		Dirichlet tessellation (irregular pentagon) composed of perpendicular bisectors (solid lines) between center point and six surrounding points.

	How Tessellations Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A more direct method of evaluating whether particles are ordered, clustered, or randomly distributed is Dirichlet tessellations, named for the man who described their mathematical properties, in 1850*.
		The tessellation cells are formed by expanding the perimeters of all particles until the expanding regions meet their nearest neighbors.
		By using Dirichlet tessellations, we can construct a quantitative measure of clustering that can be used to relate materials processes with physical and mechanical properties.

	Correct calculation of Dirichlet polygon areas
		The Dirichlet cell, first proposed in 1850, has been useful in many scientific disciplines and thus is known under a variety of names including Voronoi, 1909, Thiessen, 1911, Wigner-Seitz, 1933, cell model, 1953, and S-mosaic, 1977 (Rogers 1964; Mead 1971; Rhynsburger 1973; Upton & Fingleton 1985; David 1988).
		More recently, a Dirichlet tessellation algorithm was developed to define colonization territories of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) under the bark of host trees (Byers 1992).
		However, calculations of the area of a Dirichlet cell are undervalued by about 10 to 30 percent.

	A geometrical description of particle distributions in materials
		Extension of the tessellation technique by specifying a distance over which second-phase particles are assumed to interact mechanically (particle interaction distance) facilitates quantitative characterization of particle clustering by allowing evaluation of characteristics such as the fraction of particles clustered, and the number, size, and spatial distribution of clusters.
		The tessellation and clustering characteristics of several types of computer-generated particle arrays (random, clustered, and hexagonal cellular) are presented.
		Tessellation and clustering characteristics of the random particle arrays are insensitive to plane-strain deformation.

	Elastic moduli of model random three-dimensional closed-cell cellular solids - Voronoi tessellations
		The most common models of cellular solids are generated by Voronoi tessellation of distributions of 'seed-points' in space.
		The cells of the Kelvin foam are uniformly shaped, fill space, and satisfy Plateau's law of foam equilibrium (three faces meet at angles of 120º, and four struts join at 109.5º).
		Data at the two lowest densities were obtained for 3 realizations of the 26 cell model, and the remainder were obtained for 5 realizations of the 122 cell model.

	Elastic properties of model random three-dimensional open-cell solids-Voronoi tessellations
		An open-cell Voronoi tessellation results if only the edges where two cell-walls intersect are defined as solid.
		It is worth noting that the tessellation of the BCC array (the tetrakaidecahedral cell model discussed above) is a reasonable approximation to the foam introduced by Lord Kelvin [Weaire and Fortes, 1994,Warren and Kraynik, 1997,Grenestedt, 1999].
		The open-cell Voronoi tessellations of these distributions showed a polydisperse size distribution since the seed points may now be bunched in regions (see Figure 7).

	About "What is Dirichlet Tessellation?"
		But the Delaunay triangulation also has a mathematical dual called the Dirichlet tessellation.
		This Dirichlet tessellation is also known as a Voronoi diagram or a collection of Theissen regions.

		The Dirichlet tessellation and its dual Delaunay network are used to connect the neighboring particles.
		A discrete homogenization method is used to estimate the linear effective properties of the material.
		The validity and limitations of the model have been discussed through comparisons with finite element simulations on regular periodic unit cells in the limit case of rigid inclusions.

	National Federation of Badger Groups (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Independent Scientific Group recommends that boundaries of badger territories are established using the 'Dirichlet tessellations' method backed by field signs.
		It assumes that each social group has only one main sett, that neighbouring territories are contiguous, that the boundary of neighbouring social groups is positioned mid-way between each main sett and that territory configurations approximate to polygons.
		The Dirichlet tessellation method also assumes that territory boundaries do not change between years.

	Voronoi tessellation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Voronoi tessellation is a geometric dual of Delaunay triangulation and one can be derived from the other.
		Given a set of N points in a plane, Voronoi tessellation divides the domain in a set of polygonal regions, the boundaries of which are the perpendicular bisectors of the lines joining the points (Figure 4.1).
		Except in degenerate cases, the vertices of Voronoi tessellation occur where three tiles meet.

	Voronoi diagrams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Different names particular to the respective field have been used, such as medial axis transform in biology and physiology, Wigner-Seitz zones in chemistry and physics, domains of action in crystallography, and Thiessen polygons in metereology and geography.
		The mathematicians Dirichlet and Voronoi were the first to formally introduce this concept.
		The resulting structure has been called Dirichlet tessellation or Voronoi diagram, which has become its standard name today.

	Dirichlet tesselation - Abstract
		(1) Algorithms for Dirichlet tessellation of spatial points are developed and implemented on personal computer.
		(2) The program also calculates Dirichlet cell areas and their coefficient of variation (CV) as well as the average nearest neighbour distance between points.
		All three species exhibited spacing between attack sites, in agreement with known behavioural mechanisms that are proposed for avoiding intraspecific competition for food resources.

		In this section each row has three entries: the number of sides --- within the rectangular window --- of the Dirichlet tile surrounding a given point, the number of points in which the Dirichlet tile intersects the boundary of the rectangular window, and the area of the Dirichlet tile surrounding the point.
		(The ``given point'' is the same as that in the corresponding row of the ``Delaunay summary''.) Note that the total area of the Dirichlet tessellation is equal to the sum of the last column of the ``Dirichlet summary''.

		In first part students have to demonstrate they can construct a tessellation; and in second part, turn it into a triangulation.
		The diagram below shows the Dirichlet tessellation of three points, A, B, C, in a plane.
		Rather than a set of lines dividing the space into regions ‘closest’ to a point, we now have a set of planes, again constructed as perpendicular bisectors (3 marks).
