I am looking for a solution of the following problem:
Assume a square area with sides of length L. N points are randomly distributed
within area. The location of each point is independent of other points.
The location of a point is a uniform random variable - a point is
equally likely to be anywhere within the square.
Find the expected value of the distance from a randomly selected
point to its nearest neighbor.
Thanks, John Gerber
