Covering the whole space with Poisson random balls

چکیده
We consider Poisson random balls in R, with the pair (center, radius) given by a Poisson point process in Rd×(0,+∞). According to the intensity measure of the Poisson process, we investigate the eventuality of covering the whole space with the union of the balls. We exhibit a disjunction phenomenon between the coverage with large balls (low frequency) and the coverage with small balls (high frequency). Concerning the second type of coverage, we prove the existence of a critical regime which separates the case where coverage occurs almost surely and the case where coverage does not occur almost surely. We give an explicit value of the critical intensity and we prove that the Hausdorff measure of the set of points which are not covered by the union of balls is linked with this value. We also compare with other critical regimes appearing in continuum percolation.

Fractional Poisson Fields
This paper considers random balls in a D-dimensional Euclidean space whose centers are prescribed by a homogeneous Poisson point process and whose radii are prescribed by a specific power law. A random field is constructed by counting the number of covering balls at each point. Even though it is not Gaussian, this field shares the same covariance function as the fractional Brownian field (fBf)....
متن کاملPoisson sphere counting processes with random radii
Abstract We consider a random sphere covering model made of random balls with interacting random radii of the product form R(r, ω) = rG(ω), based on a Poisson random measure ω(dy, dr) on IR×IR+. We provide sufficient conditions under which the corresponding random ball counting processes are well-defined, and we study the fractional behavior of the associated random fields. The main results rel...
متن کاملSelf-similar Random Fields and Rescaled Random Balls Models
We study generalized random fields which arise as rescaling limits of spatial configurations of uniformly scattered random balls as the mean radius of the balls tends to 0 or infinity. Assuming that the radius distribution has a power law behavior, we prove that the centered and re-normalized random balls field admits a limit with spatial dependence and self-similarity properties. In particular...
متن کاملPercolation and limit theory for the poisson lilypond model
The lilypond model on a point process in d-space is a growth-maximal system of nonoverlapping balls centred at the points. We establish central limit theorems for the total volume and the number of components of the lilypond model on a sequence of Poisson or binomial point processes on expanding windows. For the lilypond model over a homogeneous Poisson process, we give subexponentially decayin...
متن کاملAn extension theorem for finite positive measures on surfaces of finite dimensional unit balls in Hilbert spaces
A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...
