[Please send pure mathematics discussions directly to this author via email. Post Mathematica solutions to this to the mailing list -- moderator] Hi, group, I think my question is probably about mathematics rather than Mathematica, but I am so impressed by the depth of discussion regarding some math issues on this list, so I decided to ask for help here anyway. I want to generate a point set in a, say 1x1 square, region. The requirement would be that for any given point, the distance between this point and its nearest neighbor should satisfy a given distribution, e.g., Gaussian. Any help, suggestion, or pointer is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
