Convergence of the Lloyd Algorithm for Computing Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations
Abstract
Centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVTs) are Voronoi tessellations of a bounded geometric domain such that the generating points of the tessellations are also the centroids (mass centers) of the corresponding Voronoi regions with respect to a given density function. Centroidal Voronoi tessellations may also be defined in more abstract and more general settings. Due to the natural optimization properties enjoyed by CVTs, they have many applications in diverse fields. The Lloyd algorithm is one of the most popular iterative schemes for computing the CVTs but its theoretical analysis is far from complete. In this paper, some new analytical results on the local and global convergence of the Lloyd algorithm are presented. These results are derived through careful utilization of the optimization properties shared by CVTs. Numerical experiments are also provided to substantiate the theoretical analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
