Abstract: Mean density of lower dimensional random closed sets, as well as the mean boundary density of full dimensional random sets, and their estimation are of great interest in many real applications. Only partial results are available so far in current literature, under the assumption that the random set is either stationary, or it is a Boolean model, or it has convex grains. We consider here non-stationary random closed sets (not necessarily Boolean models), whose grains have to satisfy some general regularity conditions, extending previous results. We address the open problem posed in (Bernoulli 15 (2009) 1222-1242) about the approximation of the mean density of lower dimensional random sets by a pointwise limit, and to the open problem posed by Matheron in (Random Sets and Integral Geometry (1975) Wiley) about the existence (and its value) of the so-called specific area of full dimensional random closed sets. The relationship with the spherical contact distribution function, as well as some examples and applications are also discussed.
