Limit theorems for iteration stable tessellations

Probability 2014-12-25 v3

Abstract

The intent of this paper is to describe the large scale asymptotic geometry of iteration stable (STIT) tessellations in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, which form a rather new, rich and flexible class of random tessellations considered in stochastic geometry. For this purpose, martingale tools are combined with second-order formulas proved earlier to establish limit theorems for STIT tessellations. More precisely, a Gaussian functional central limit theorem for the surface increment process induced a by STIT tessellation relative to an initial time moment is shown. As second main result, a central limit theorem for the total edge length/facet surface is obtained, with a normal limit distribution in the planar case and, most interestingly, with a nonnormal limit showing up in all higher space dimensions.
