Abstract
We investigate random lattices where the connectivities are determined by the Voronoi construction, while the location of
the points are the dynamic degrees of freedom. The Voronoi random lattices with an associated energy are immersed in a heat
bath and investigated using a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. In thermodynamic equilibrium we measure coordination number
distributions and test the Aboav-Weaire and Lewis laws.
