Minkowski Portal Refinement (MPR) is a computational method used in materials science and crystallography for the analysis of crystalline structures. It combines geometric and optimization principles to explore the configuration space of possible atomic arrangements within a given material, particularly for complex or disordered systems. The method is named after Hermann Minkowski, who contributed to the field of geometry and mathematical formulations that are relevant in crystallography.
