Covering the plane randomly but without clusters is actually quite useful in simulations. The "random" numbers that do that are often call "low-discrepancy sequence".
- thaumasiotes 9y agoAlso called "quasirandom" numbers, as I learned it from wikipedia years ago. ("Quasirandom" and "quasirandom numbers" today redirect to "low-discrepancy sequence".)
- petschge 9y agoThere is many names for it. The problem with "quasirandom" is that is sounds a lot like "pseudorandom". For the special case of points in a plane looking for "Poisson disk sampling" also brings many great resources.
