LINE_CVT_LLOYD\ Lloyd’s CVT Method for a Line Segment {#line_cvt_lloyd-lloyds-cvt-method-for-a-line-segment align=”center”} =====================================

---

LINE_CVT_LLOYD is a C library which carries out Lloyd’s iteration for computing a Centroidal Voronoi Tesselation (CVT) of points over the interior of a line segment in 1D.

A constraint has been added to the computation, which forces the first and last points to be fixed to the endpoints of the line segment. This is not actually a requirement for Lloyd’s method.

At least for the uniform density case, the exact solution of this problem is known in advance, and is simply a set of equally spaced points. For instance, for N = 4, the solution over the interval [0,1] would be 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1, if the endpoint constraint is imposed. If the endpoint constraint is NOT imposed, then the exact solution is: 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8.
