E-mail: volker.schmidt@uni-ulm.de We observe stationary random tessellations X = { } in Rd through a convex sampling window W that n n≥1 expands unboundedly and we determine the total (k − 1)-volume of those (k − 1)-dimensional manifold processes which are induced on the k-facets of X (1 ≤ k ≤ d − 1) by their intersections with the (d − 1)- facets of independent and identically distributed motion-invariant tessellations Xn generated within each cell of X. The cases of X being either a Poisson hyperplane tessellation or a random tessellation with n weak dependences are treated separately. In both cases, however, we obtain that all of the total volumes measured in W are approximately normally distributed when W 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).

Introduction In this paper, we consider stationary random tessellations X = { } of the d -dimensional n n≥1 Euclidean space Rd with convex cells . We assume that within each cell
