Random Distances Associated with Rhombuses

Understand

Parallelograms are one of the basic building blocks in two-dimensional tiling.

• They have important applications in a wide variety of science and engineering fields, such as wireless communication networks, urban transportation, operations research, etc.
• Different from rectangles and squares, the coordinates of a random point in parallelograms are no longer independent.
• As a case study of parallelograms, the explicit probability density functions of the random Euclidean distances associated with rhombuses are given in this report, when both endpoints are randomly distributed in 1) the same rhombus, 2) two parallel rhombuses sharing a side, and 3) two rhombuses having a common diagonal, respectively.
