Navigation on a Poisson point process

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: On a locally finite point set, a navigation defines a path through the point set from one point to another. The set of paths leading to a given point defines a tree known as the navigation tree. In this article, we analyze the properties of the navigation tree when the point set is a Poisson point process on mathbbRd. We examine the local weak convergence of the navigation tree, the asymptotic average of a functional along a path, the shape of the navigation tree and its topological ends. We illustrate our work in the small-world graphs where new results are established.


Let \(N\) be a locally finite point set obtained by a Poisson point process in \(d\)-dimensional Euclidean space. A connected graph called the navigation tree is defined on \(N\) extended with origo. A greedy navigation algorithm is analyzed and asymptotic results on long paths are given. Small-world graphs illustrate the results.
