The paper deals with the following basic model for random tessellations of \(\mathbb{R}^d\) (called Johnson-Mehl tessellation): seeds are born randomly at locations \(x_i\) at times \(t_i\) according to a spatial-temporal Poisson process with intensity measure \(\mu\nu_d\times \Lambda\), where \(0<\mu< \infty\), \(\nu_d\) is the \(d\)-dimensional Lebesgue measure and \(\Lambda\) is some finite measure on \([0,\infty)\). Once a seed is born, it begins to create a cell by growing radially in all directions with constant speed. Seeds contained in such cells are deleted. The authors prove a central limit theorem and its functional version (including rates of convergence in both theorems) for the number of seeds in an unboundedly growing domain in \(\mathbb{R}^d\). The key to prove this result is a sharp bound of the strong mixing coefficient of the associated stationary random field which then enables to apply well-known limit theorems for strongly mixing random fields.
