Dirichlet tesselation
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Voronoi tesselation, Dirichlet–Voronoi tesselation, Dirichlet–Voronoi decomposition, Thiessen tesselation
The Dirichlet tesselation defined by a set 
of points in 
is the same as the Voronoi diagram of that set 
. If 
is a lattice, it is also called the Dirichlet–Voronoi tiling. The straight-line dual of the Dirichlet tesselation is the Delaunay triangulation.
