COLUMN TESSELLATIONS

Linh Ngoc Nguyen, Viola Weiss, Richard Cowan

Abstract

A new class of non facet-to-facet random tessellations in three-dimensional space is introduced -- the so-called column tessellations. The spatial construction is based on a stationary planar tessellation; each cell of the spatial tessellation is a prism whose base facet is  congruent to a cell of the planar tessellation. Thus intensities, topological and metric mean values of the spatial tessellation can be calculated from suitably chosen parameters of the planar tessellation.

Keywords
combinatorial topology; random tessellations; stochastic geometry
