On the existence of paths between points in high level excursion sets of Gaussian random fields (Q2450247): Difference between revisions

Let \(X(t)\), \(t\in\mathbb{R}^d\), be a real-valued sample continuous Gaussian random field. Given a level \(u\), the excursion set of \(X\) above the level \(u\) is the random set \(A_u= \{t\in\mathbb{R}^d: X(t)> u\}\). The authors study the following question: Given that two points in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) belong to the excursion set, what is the probability that they belong to the same path-connected component of the excursion set?
