Criteria for Poisson process convergence with applications to inhomogeneous Poisson-Voronoi tessellations

Abstract

This article employs the relation between probabilities of two consecutive values of a Poisson random variable to derive conditions for the weak convergence of point processes to a Poisson process. As applications, we consider the starting points of k-runs in a sequence of Bernoulli random variables and point processes constructed using inradii and circumscribed radii of inhomogeneous Poisson-Voronoi tessellations.
