In this paper, we present finite element approximations of a class of Generalized random fields defined over a bounded domain of R d or a smooth d-dimensional Riemannian manifold (d $\ge$ 1). An explicit expression for the covariance matrix…
We aim to link random fields and marked point processes and therefore introduce a new class of stochastic processes which are defined on a random set in R^d. Unlike for random fields, the mark covariance function of a marked random set is…
Gaussian random fields (GRFs) constitute an important part of spatial modelling, but can be computationally infeasible for general covariance structures. An efficient approach is to specify GRFs via stochastic partial differential equations…

We stochastically quantize the Born-Infeld field which can hardly be dealtwith by means of the standard canonical and/or path-integral quantization methods. We set a hypothetical Langevin equation in order to quantize the Born-Infeld field,…
