Two-site Voronoi diagrams in geographic networks

Published:05 November 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

We provide an efficient algorithm for two-site Voronoi diagrams in geographic networks. A two-site Voronoi diagram labels each vertex in a geographic network with their two nearest neighbors, which is useful in many contexts.
