In the paper, upper bounds for the rate of convergence in laws of large numbers for mixed Poisson random sums are constructed. As a measure of the distance between the limit and pre-limit laws, the Zolotarev $\zeta$-metric is used. The…

We study a local thinning $T_r$ that retains a point with probability $p(n_r)$, where $n_r$ counts neighbors within radius $r$. For Poisson input with spatially varying intensity, we obtain an exact intensity via a Poisson--mixture formula…

We consider a class of random matching problems where the distance between two points has a probability law which, for a small distance l, goes like l^r. In the framework of the cavity method, in the limit of an infinite number of points,…
