The spatial arrangement of random Voronoi polygons

Abstract A Monte Carlo procedure is used to derive simple models which describe some of the characteristics of the spatial arrangement of individual Voronoi polygons within a tesselation. The procedure uses a new approach and algorithm for the generation of such polygons.
