We study the problem of estimating the source of a network cascade. The cascade starts from a single vertex at time 0 and spreads over time, but only a noisy version of the propagation is observable. The goal is then to design a stopping…

We consider a Boolean model $Z$ driven by a Poisson particle process $\eta$ on a metric space $\mathbb{Y}$. We study the random variable $\rho(Z)$, where $\rho$ is a (deterministic) measure on $\mathbb{Y}$. Due to the interaction of…

In many contexts such as queuing theory, spatial statistics, geostatistics and meteorology, data are observed at irregular spatial positions. One model of this situation involves considering the observation points as generated by a Poisson…

Plant differently colored points in the plane, then let random points ("Poisson rain") fall, and give each new point the color of the nearest existing point. Previous investigation and simulations strongly suggest that the colored regions…

Random events in space and time often exhibit a locally dependent structure. When the events are very rare and dependent structure is not too complicated, various studies in the literature have shown that Poisson and compound Poisson…
