The Subject

This paper is concerned with certain aspects of the theory and application of the probability generating functional (p.g.fl) of a point process on the real line. Interest in point processes has increased rapidly during the last decade and a number of different approaches to the subject have been expounded (see for example [6], [11], [15], [17], [20], [25], [27], [28]). It is hoped that the present development using the p.g.ff will calrify and unite some of these viewpoints and provide a useful tool for solution of particular problems.

A point process, N, on the real line, is thinned using a k -dependent Markov sequence of binary variables, and is rescaled. Second-order properties of the thinned process are described when k = 1. For general k, convergence to a compound Poisson process is demonstrated.

We consider a stochastic process in continuous time and two point processes on the real line, all jointly stationary. We show that under a certain mixing condition the values of the process at the points of the second point process converge weakly under the Palm distribution with respect to the first point process, and we identify the limit. This result is a supplement to two other known results which are mentioned below.

Stationary Point Processes

A bivariate point process consisting of an original stationary point process and its random translation is considered. Westcott's method is applied to show that if the original point process is ergodic then the bivariate point process is also ergodic. This result is applied to an identification problem of the displacement distribution. It is shown that if the spectrum of the original process is the real line then the displacement distribution is identifiable from almost every sample realisation of the bivariate process.

Stochastic Point Processes

The Pólya process is employed to illustrate certain features of the structure of infinitely divisible stochastic point processes in connection with the representation for the probability generating functional introduced by Milne and Westcott in 1972. The Pólya process is used to provide a counterexample to the result of Ammann and Thall which states that the class of stochastic point processes with the Milne and Westcott representation is the class of regular infinitely divisble point processes. So the general representation problem is still unsolved. By carrying the analysis of the Pólya process further it is possible to see the extent to which the general representation is valid. In fact it is shown in the case of the Pólya process that there is a critical value of a parameter above which the representation breaks down. This leads to a proper version of the representation in the case of regular infinitely divisible point processes.

Stationary Point Processes

Daley and Vesilo (1997) introduced long-range count dependence (LRcD) for stationary point processes on the real line as a natural augmentation of the classical long-range dependence of the corresponding interpoint sequence. They studied LRcD for some renewal processes and some output processes of queueing systems, continuing the previous research on such processes of Daley (1968), (1975). Subsequently, Daley (1999) showed that a necessary and sufficient condition for a stationary renewal process to be LRcD is that under its Palm measure the generic lifetime distribution has infinite second moment. We show that point processes dominating, in a sense of stochastic ordering, LRcD point processes are LRcD, and as a corollary we obtain that for arbitrary stationary point processes with finite intensity a sufficient condition for LRcD is that under Palm measure the interpoint distances are positively dependent (associated) with infinite second moment. We give many examples of LRcD point processes, among them exchangeable, cluster, moving average, Wold, semi-Markov processes and some examples of LRcD point processes with finite second Palm moment of interpoint distances. These examples show that, in general, the condition of infiniteness of the second moment is not necessary for LRcD. It is an open question whether the infinite second Palm moment of interpoint distances suffices to make a stationary point process LRcD.

The Right

We consider a version in continuous time of the parking problem of Knuth. Files arrive following a Poisson point process and are stored on a hardware identified with the real line, in the closest free portions at the right of the arrival location. We specify the distribution of the space of unoccupied locations at a fixed time and give asymptotic regimes when the hardware is becoming full.
