Abstract

Many mean-value quantities of stationary random tessellations can be expressed in terms of three fundamental mean-value quantities. In this note we characterize the set of triples of mean values that can be realized, and show that every possible triple can arise from a suitable ergodic stationary isotropic tessellation.
