Covering one point process with another
Abstract
Let and be i.i.d. random uniform points in a bounded domain with smooth or polygonal boundary. Given , define the {\em two-sample -coverage threshold} to be the smallest such that each point of is covered at least times by the disks of radius centred on . We obtain the limiting distribution of as with for some constant , with fixed. If has unit area, then is asymptotically Gumbel distributed with scale parameter and location parameter . For , we find that is asymptotically Gumbel with scale parameter and a more complicated location parameter involving the perimeter of ; boundary effects dominate when . For the limiting cdf is a two-component extreme value distribution with scale parameters 1 and 2. We also give analogous results for higher dimensions, where the boundary effects dominate for all .
