Named after Georgy Voronoi.

Noun

Voronoi pole (plural Voronoi poles)

  1. (mathematics) The vertices in a Voronoi diagram that are farthest from the point defining a cell. In particular, a positive pole is farthest from the defining point, and the negative pole is farthest from the defining point on the other side of the cell from the positive pole, where "other side" refers to vertices for which the angle formed by a vector from the defining point to the vertex with the vector from the defining point to the positive pole is greater than π/2.
