This is the covered region obtained from the Boolean model $\\{(x_i+S_i):i\\geq 1\\}$. The Boolean model is said to be completely covered if $\\Lambda \\subseteq C$ almost surely. If $\\Lambda$ is an infinite set such that ${\\bf s}+\\Lambda \\subseteq \\Lambda$ for all ${\\bf s}\\in \\Lambda$ (e.g. the orthant), then the Boolean model is said to be eventually covered if ${\\bf t}+\\Lambda \\subseteq C$ for some ${\\bf t}$ almost surely. We discuss the issues of coverage when $\\Lambda$ is $\\mathbb{R}^d$ and when $\\Lambda$ is $[0,\\infty)^d$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-08-10T06:05:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80", "05C40", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "boolean model", "infinite set", "random sets", "marked point process" ], "tags": [ "monograph", "journal article", "lecture notes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......8238R" } } }
