A variant of the Thomson problem, which is about placing a set of points uniformly on the surface of a sphere, is that of generating uniformly distributed points on the sphere that are endowed with antipodal symmetry, i.e., if x is an element of the point set then -x is also an element of that point set. Point sets with antipodal symmetry are of special importance to many scientific and engineering applications. Although this type of point sets may be generated through the minimization of a slightly modified electrostatic potential, the optimization procedure becomes unwieldy when the size of the point set increases beyond a few thousands. Therefore, it is desirable to have a deterministic scheme capable of generating this type of point set with near uniformity. In this work, we will present a simple deterministic scheme to generate nearly uniform point sets with antipodal symmetry. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
