Abstract

We observe stationary random tessellations X={Ξn}n1X=\{\Xi_n\}_{n\ge1} in Rd\mathbb{R}^d through a convex sampling window WW that expands unboundedly and we determine the total (k1)(k-1)-volume of those (k1)(k-1)-dimensional manifold processes which are induced on the kk-facets of XX (1kd11\le k\le d-1) by their intersections with the (d1)(d-1)-facets of independent and identically distributed motion-invariant tessellations XnX_n generated within each cell Ξn\Xi_n of XX. The cases of XX being either a Poisson hyperplane tessellation or a random tessellation with weak dependences are treated separately. In both cases, however, we obtain that all of the total volumes measured in WW are approximately normally distributed when WW is sufficiently large. Structural formulae for mean values and asymptotic variances are derived and explicit numerical values are given for planar Poisson--Voronoi tessellations (PVTs) and Poisson line tessellations (PLTs).
