Abstract

The iteration of random tessellations in ℝd is considered, where each cell of an initial tessellation is further subdivided into smaller cells by so-called component tessellations. Sufficient conditions for stationarity and isotropy of iterated tessellations are given. Formulae are derived for the intensities of their facet processes, and for the expected intrinsic volumes of their typical facets. Particular emphasis is put on two special cases: superposition and nesting of tessellations. Bernoulli thinning of iterated tessellations is also considered.
