A Central Limit Theorem for the Poisson-Voronoi Approximation

Abstract

For a compact convex set $K$ and a Poisson point process $\eta$, the union of all Voronoi cells with a nucleus in $K$ is the Poisson-Voronoi approximation of $K$. Lower and upper bounds for the variance and a central limit theorem for the volume of the Poisson-Voronoi approximation are shown. The proofs make use of so called Wiener-It\^o chaos expansions and the central limit theorem is based on a more abstract central limit theorem for Poisson functionals, which is also derived.
