We achieve a detailed understanding of the $n$-sided planar Poisson-Voronoi cell in the limit of large $n$. Let ${p}\_n$ be the probability for a cell to have $n$ sides. We construct the asymptotic expansion of $\log {p}\_n$ up to terms…
We consider the d-dimensional Poisson-Voronoi tessellation and investigate the applicability of heuristic methods developed recently for two dimensions. Let p_n(d) be the probability that a cell have n neighbors (be `n-faced') and m_n(d)…
The typical cell of a Voronoi tessellation generated by $n+1$ uniformly distributed random points on the $d$-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb S^d$ is studied. Its $f$-vector is identified in distribution with the $f$-vector of a beta'…
We develop a set of heuristic arguments to explain several results on planar Poisson-Voronoi tessellations that were derived earlier at the cost of considerable mathematical effort. The results concern Voronoi cells having a large number n…
Suppose that $Z$ is a random closed subset of the hyperbolic plane $\H^2$, whose law is invariant under isometries of $\H^2$. We prove that if the probability that $Z$ contains a fixed ball of radius 1 is larger than some universal constant…
A Poisson line tessellation is observed within a window. With each cell of the tessellation, we associate the inradius, which is the radius of the largest ball contained in the cell. Using Poisson approximation, we compute the limit…
Tessellations of $R^3$ that use convex polyhedral cells to fill the space can be extremely complicated, especially if they are not facet-to-facet, that is, if the facets of a cell do not necessarily coincide with the facets of that cell's…
The intersections of beta-Voronoi, beta-prime-Voronoi and Gaussian-Voronoi tessellations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $\ell$-dimensional affine subspaces, $1\leq \ell\leq d-1$, are shown to be random tessellations of the same type but with…
In this paper we consider a random partition of the plane into cells, the partition being based on the nodes and links of a {\it random planar geometric graph}. The resulting structure generalises the \emph{random \tes}\ hitherto studied in…
We consider a stationary Poisson hyperplane process with given directional distribution and intensity in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Generalizing the zero cell of such a process, we fix a convex body $K$ and consider the intersection…
Let $p\_n$ be the probability for a planar Poisson-Voronoi cell to have exactly $n$ sides. We construct the asymptotic expansion of $\log p\_n$ up to terms that vanish as $n\to\infty$. We show that {\it two independent biased random walks}…
We study random polytopes of the form $[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ defined as convex hulls of independent and identically distributed random points $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with one of the following densities: $$ f_{d,\beta} (x) =…
A natural model for the approximation of a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by random polytopes is obtained as follows. Take a stationary Poisson hyperplane process in the space, and consider the random polytope $Z_K$ defined as the…
Three-dimensional random tessellations that are stable under iteration (STIT tessellations) are considered. They arise as a result of subsequent cell division, which implies that their cells are not face-to-face. The edges of the…
Poisson Voronoi diagrams are useful for modeling and describing various natural patterns and for generating random lattices. Although this particular space tessellation is intensively studied by mathematicians, in two- and three dimensional…
A facet of an hyperplane arrangement is called external if it belongs to exactly one bounded cell. The set of all external facets forms the envelope of the arrangement. The number of external facets of a simple arrangement defined by $n$…
We study percolation in the following random environment: let $Z$ be a Poisson process of constant intensity in the plane, and form the Voronoi tessellation of the plane with respect to $Z$. Colour each Voronoi cell black with probability…
Poisson Voronoi tessellations have been used in modeling many types of systems across different sciences, from geography and astronomy to telecommunications. The existing literature on the statistical properties of Poisson Voronoi cells is…
The Voronoi tessellation of a homogeneous Poisson point process in the lower half-plane gives rise to a family of vertical elongated cells in the upper half-plane. The set of edges of these cells is ruled by a Markovian branching mechanism…
The number of faces of the convex hull of $n$ independent and identically distributed random points chosen on the boundary of a smooth convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is investigated. In dimensions two and three the number of $k$-faces is…
