Abstract

The method of Voronoi diagrams has been used for the local structure analysis of 2D system consist on hard disk. We propose the analytical model for the parameterization of the Voronoi squares distribution. Within the given approach the particular behavior of the parameters (moments) of the deterministic distribution influenced by the structure defects has been outlined.
