However, a quasi-triangulation, and thus a beta-complex as well, can be a non-simplicial complex due to an anomaly condition. While a beta-complex is straightforward to use when it is a simplicial complex, it may not seem obvious if it is not. In this paper, we report the experimental statistics of showing the frequency of anomaly case occurrences in both quasi-triangulations and beta-complexes of molecular structures and randomly generated models in three-dimension. The experiment was based on 100 molecular structures from the protein data bank (PDB) and four random sets where each set consists of 100 models of three-dimensional spheres. Anomalies extremely rarely occur in molecular structures and rarely occur even in random sphere sets.","PeriodicalId":344701,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126184800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the map generalization process [18], the processing of the map objects and the operations applied to achieve this simplified map are usually lost. This is due to the transaction processing systems implemented in commercial GIS systems. In this research, we used the Voronoi spatial data model for map generalizations. We were able to demonstrate that the map generalization does not affect only spatial objects (points, lines or polygons), but also the events corresponding to the creation and modification of map objects, together with their temporal and spatial adjacency relationships. In this paper, we present new solutions to the problems of spatio-temporal generalizations using the hierarchical Voronoi spatio-temporal data structure. The application of the hierarchical Voronoi data structure presented in this research is in spatio-temporal map generalization, which is needed for reasoning about dynamic aspects of the world, primarily about actions, events and processes. This provides an advance in the domain of map generalization as we are able to deal not only with the cartographic objects, but also their spatio-temporal characteristics and their dynamic behaviour.","PeriodicalId":344701,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128988566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dolbilin","doi":"10.1109/ISVD.2013.22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISVD.2013.22","url":null,"abstract":"Summary form only given. An appropriate concept for describing an arbitrary discrete atomic structure is the Delone set (or an (r,R)-system). Structures with long-range order such as crystals involves a concept of the space group as well. A mathematical model of an ideal monocrystalline matter is defined now as a Delone set which is invariant with respect to some space group. One should emphasize that under this definition the wellknown periodicity of crystal in all 3 dimensions is not an additional requirement. By the celebrated Schoenflies-Bieberbach theorem, any space group contains a translational subgroup with a finite index. Thus, a mathematical model of an ideal crystal uses two concepts: a Delone set (which is of local character) and a space group (which is of global character). Since the crystallization is a process which results from mutual interaction of just nearby atoms, it is believed (L. Pauling, R. Feynmann et al) that the long-range order of atomic structures of crystals (and quasi-crystals too) comes out local rules restricting the arrangement of nearby atoms. However, before 1970s there were no whatever rigorous results until Delone and his students (Dolbilin, Stogrin, Galiulin) initiated developing the local theory of crystals. The main aim of this theory was (and is) rigorous derivation of space group symmetry of a crystalline structure from the pair-wise identity of local arrangements around each atoms. To some extent, it is analogous to that as, in due time, it was rigorously proved that space group symmetry contains a translational subgroup. In the talk it is supposed to expose some results on local rules for crystals obtained by Delone, Dolbilin, Stogrin, and their followers and to outline the frontier between crystalline and quasi-crystalline local rules.","PeriodicalId":344701,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130023959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
