Abstract:A new concept called a boat-sail distance is introduced on the surface of water with flow, and it is used to define a generalized Voronoi diagram, in such a way that the water surface is partitioned into regions belonging to the nearest harbors with respect to this distance. The problem of computing this Voronoi diagram is reduced to a boundary value problem of a partial differential equation, and a numerical method for solving this problem is constructed. The method is a modification of a so-called fast march… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
