Abstract

A unified exposition of random Johnson–Mehl tessellations in d-dimensional Euclidean space is presented. In particular, Johnson-Mehl tessellations generated by time-inhomogeneous Poisson processes and nucleation-exclusion models are studied. The ‘practical' cases d = 2 and d = 3 are discussed in detail. Several new results are established, including first- and second-order moments of various characteristics for both Johnson–Mehl tesselations and sectional Johnson–Mehl tessellations.
