On virtual-force algorithms for coverage-optimal node deployment in mobile sensor networks via the two-dimensional Yukawa crystal by Rongxin Tang, Xin Qian, Xiangyu Yu

“…The analysis also indicated that the VFA-DP converges faster than another virtual-force algorithm based on the Lennard-Jones potential (VFA-LJ), resulting in lower communication-related energy costs in real deployment scenarios. The method developed in this article is derived from studies of crystalline structure from condensed matter physics and shows clear evidence of when the regular lattice is ready. …”
