Abstract

We investigate the typical cells Z^\widehat{Z} and Z^\widehat{Z}^\prime of β\beta- and β\beta'-Voronoi tessellations in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, establishing a Complementary Theorem which entails: 1) a gamma distribution of the Φ\Phi-content (a suitable homogeneous functional) of the typical cell with nn-facets; 2) the independence of this Φ\Phi-content with the shape of the cell; 3) a practical integral representation of the distribution of Z()Z^{(\prime)}. We exploit the latter to derive bounds on the distribution of the facet numbers. Using duality, we get bounds on the typical degree distributions of β\beta- and β\beta'-Delaunay triangulations. For β\beta'-Delaunay, the resulting exponential lower bound seems to be the first of its kind for random spatial graphs arising as the skeletons of random tessellations. For β\beta-Delaunay, matching super-exponential bounds allow us to show concentration of the maximal degree in a growing window to only a finite number of deterministic values (in particular, only two values for d=2d=2).
