Abstract
We consider the Voronoi tessellation based on a stationary Poisson process N in ℝd.
We provide a complete
and explicit description of the Palm distribution describing N as seen from a randomly chosen (typical) point on
a k-face of the tessellation. In particular, we compute the joint distribution of the d-k+1 neighbours of the
k-face containing the typical point. Using this result as well as a fundamental general relationship between
Palm probabilities, we then derive some properties of the typical k-face and its neighbours. Generalizing recent
results of Muche (2005), we finally provide the joint distribution of the typical edge (typical 1-face) and its
neighbours.
