Abstract

Consider the tesselation of a plane into convex random polygons determined by a unit intensity Poissonian line process. Let M(A) be the ergodic intensity of random polygons with areas exceeding a value A. A two-sided asymptotic bound exp{2A/π+c0A16}<M(A)<exp{2A/π+c1A16} is established for large A, where c0>2.096, c1>6.36.
