The distribution of the interpoint distance process of a sequence of pairwise interaction point processes is considered. It is shown that, if the interaction function is piecewise-continuous, then the sequence of interpoint distance processes converges weakly to an inhomogeneous Poisson process under certain sparseness conditions. Convergence of the expectation of the interpoint distance process to the mean of the limiting Poisson process is also established. This suggests a new nonparametric estimator for the interaction function if independent identically distributed samples of the point process are available.

AbstractWe provide a new proof of the existence of Gibbs point processes with infinite range interactions, based on the compactness of entropy levels. Our main existence theorem holds under two assumptions. The first one is the standard stability assumption, which means that the energy of any finite configuration is superlinear with respect to the number of points. The second assumption is the so-called intensity regularity, which controls the long range of the interaction via the intensity of the process. This assumption is new and introduced here since it is well adapted to the entropy approach. As a corollary of our main result we improve the existence results by Ruelle (1970) for pairwise interactions by relaxing the superstabilty assumption. Note that our setting is not reduced to pairwise interaction and can contain infinite-range multi-body counterparts.

A generalization of Markov point processes is introduced in which interactions occur between connected components of the point pattern. A version of the Hammersley-Clifford characterization theorem is proved which states that a point process is a Markov interacting component process if and only if its density function is a product of interaction terms associated with cliques of connected components. Integrability and superpositional properties of the processes are shown and a pairwise interaction example is used for detailed exploration.
