Abstract
An information processing apparatus, a calculation method, a program, and a storage medium for generating a uniformly distributed discrete pattern. To calculate a spatial arrangement of a plurality of elements of a discrete pattern, the plurality of elements being arranged in a spatially discrete manner, an information processing apparatus according to the present invention determines, for each of the elements, a density in an initial position given to the element from a density distribution of the elements in a region where the elements are arranged in the discrete pattern and places, for the initial position of each of the elements, a figure having a size corresponding to the density and representing a region where the element repels other elements and a movement range of the figure. The information processing apparatus minimizes an objective function, computes an optimal solution, and outputs the optimal solutions.
