In an earlier contribution to this Journal, Ten Hoopen and Reuver [5] have studied selective interaction of two independent recurrent processes in connection with the unitary discharges of neuronal spikes. They have assumed that the primary process called excitatory is a stationary renewal point process characterised by the interval distribution ϕ(t). The secondary process called the inhibitory process also consists of a series of events governed by a stationary renewal point process characterised by the interval distribution Ψ(t). Each secondary event annihilates the next primary event. If there are two or more secondary events without a primary event, only one subsequent primary event is deleted. Every undeleted event gives rise to a response. For this reason, undeleted events may be called registered events. Ten Hoopen and Reuver have studied the interval distribution between two successive registered events. As is well-known, the interval distribution does not fully characterise a point process in general and in this case it would be interesting to obtain other statistical features like the moments of the number of undeleted events in a given interval as well as correlations of these events. The object of this short note is to point out that the point process consisting of the undeleted events can be studied directly by the recent techniques of renewal point processes ([1], [3]).

Let R(t) be an arbitrary function defined for t ≧ 0, satisfying 0 ≦ R(t) ≦ 1, ∀0 ≦ t <∞, and certain mild conditions (see Conditions (B1)– (B4) in the text). Then among other results, it is shown that The paper also deals with conditions under which the limit (∗) will be positive. The results are applied to several point processes and to the situations where the role of R(t) is taken over by an appropriate transform such as a probability generating function, where conditions are given under which the limit (∗) itself will be a transform of an honest distribution. Finally the results are applied to the study of certain characteristics of the GI/G/∞ queue apparently not studied before.

Let η =Σjδτj be a point process on some space S and let β,β1,β2, … be identically distributed non-negative random variables which are mutually independent and independent of η. We can then form the compound point process ξ = Σjβjδτj which is a random measure on S. The purpose of this paper is to study the limiting behaviour of ξ as . In the particular case when β takes the values 1 and 0 with probabilities p and 1 –p respectively, ξ becomes a p-thinning of η and our theorems contain some classical results by Rényi and others on the thinnings of a fixed process, as well as a characterization by Mecke of the class of subordinated Poisson processes.

AbstractLet the stationary point process N(·) be the mixture of scaled versions of a stationary orderly point process N1(·) of unit intensity with mixing distribution G(·), so thatWithN(·) has finite or infinite intensity as is finite or infinite, and it is Khinchin orderly when the function γ(·) is slowly varying at infinity. Conditions for N(·) to be orderly involve both G(·) and the Palm distribution of N1(·).

AbstractMatérn hard-core processes are classical examples for point processes obtained by dependent thinning of (marked) Poisson point processes. We present a generalization of the Matérn models which encompasses recent extensions of the original Matérn hard-core processes. It generalizes the underlying point process, the thinning rule, and the marks attached to the original process. Based on our model, we introduce processes with a clear interpretation in the context of max-stable processes. In particular, we prove that one of these processes lies in the max-domain of attraction of a mixed moving maxima process.

AbstractFor a determinantal point process (DPP) X with a kernel K whose spectrum is strictly less than one, André Goldman has established a coupling to its reduced Palm process $X^u$ at a point u with $K(u,u)>0$ so that, almost surely, $X^u$ is obtained by removing a finite number of points from X. We sharpen this result, assuming weaker conditions and establishing that $X^u$ can be obtained by removing at most one point from X, where we specify the distribution of the difference $\xi_u: = X\setminus X^u$. This is used to discuss the degree of repulsiveness in DPPs in terms of $\xi_u$, including Ginibre point processes and other specific parametric models for DPPs.
