Abstract
Consider the tesselation of a plane into convex random polygons
determined by a unit intensity Poissonian line process. Let M(A) be the
ergodic intensity of random polygons with areas exceeding a value A. A
two-sided asymptotic bound
exp{−2A/π+c0A16}<M(A)<exp{−2A/π+c1A16}
is established for large A, where c0>2.096, c1>6.36.
