Abstract

The observations of distant objects provide strong evidences that the universe is nearly isotropic and homogeneous on very large scales l ≥ 300Mpc. On the other hand, the universe is extremely clumpy on small scales l ≤ 1Mpc. The inhomogeneities in the intermediate range of scales — groups and clusters of galaxies, superclusters and voids — that are collectively termed as the large scale structure of the universe (hereafter LSS) show a variety of shapes and sizes.
